Not long ago, the public health establishment declared it was impossible to treat poor people suffering from certain deadly diseases. In the 1980s, a fledgling group of unstoppable health advocates set out to change that. Their revolutionary model of training community members as health workers and treating all people with world-class medicine, has forever changed public health.
Join us for empanadas and a screening of Bending the Arc (2017, 102 min), a documentary film that tells the story of Paul Farmer, Ophelia Dahl, and Jin Yong Kim and their ongoing struggle to treat and eradicate tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS in rural areas of Haiti, Peru, and Rwanda.
Make sure to RSVP to reserve your empanada!
