Doctors Without Borders: Inside Out

Inside Out Documentaries , 58:59

***** Authoritative, Informational, Sound Rich

Visiting James Island in the Gambia, I remarked to a local university student that this place, where a million men and women were transported to slavery or their deaths, could be considered the Auschwitz of Africa. He said, "What's Auschwitz?”
At the end of "Doctors without Borders", host Michael Goldfarb asks a local Nigerian "To say hello to America." His interviewee says, "Hello man." "You don't know America?" "No".
Such is the detachment of the lives of those who live in parts of the world where the day to day struggle is so intense and so totally local that is utterly isolating.
Michael Goldfarb gives us a glimpse into these lives and those who try to help them. Goldfarb's voice has that rare gift of a voice evocative, sensitive and intelligent enough to the carry the theatre of real life over to the form of radio. The piece is expertly, but not overly produced. The musical choices are fitting and descriptive. In short, this is excellent radio. Please download and air.
