"The idea that some lives matter less is the root of all that is wrong with the
world." Paul Farmer, the renowned Harvard physician and medical anthropologist,
died this week at age 62. While the world mourns the loss of this towering
figure in global health, it recollects his incandescent legacy of profound
solidarity, fierce commitment and catalytic friendships across borders in
delivering high-quality health care to some of the most devastated regions of
the world.
This trailer for the 2017 film, "Bending the Arc," gives a glimpse of the the
work of Farmer and a fledgling group of unstoppable health advocates taking on
a seemingly impossible mission: global health equity, and the birth of a
revolutionary organization, Partners In Health.
