I spoke briefly with Patrick Reid, the director of “Triage: Dr. James Orbinski’s Humanitarian Dilemma”. This film was nominated for the second annual WITNESS Award at Silverdocs Documentary Film Festival in June 2008.
In “Triage”, Patrick Reid accompanies Dr. James Orbinski, Nobel Peace Prize winner and former president of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)/ Doctors Without Borders, as he journeys back to Africa and embarks on his next mission, writing a deeply personal and controversial book that struggles to make sense of all his work with MSF.
In this interview Patrick Reid shares his view of what his film is really about.
