The documentary explores the ethics of global health clinical electives and volunteer projects in developing regions. It features interviews from experts and global health providers from Europe, Africa, Asia, North and South America.

Preview of UBC's "Safe and Sound?"

Copy and Paste the link at the bottom to check out the trailer of "Safe and Sound?", an award-winning half-hour documentary produced by UBC Department of Family Practice.

A brief description of the film (that I copied and pasted from the web page) i:

"Two family physicians gear up with a filmmaker to take a closer look at how five government assisted refugees move on from their varied pasts and adapt to their new lives in Canada.
Set in Vancouver, BC, the documentary film explores the transition challenges of these five unique individuals who were forced to leave their homelands of Burma, Iran, Iraq, Uganda and Uzbekistan.
Special attention is paid to their experiences with primary health care in Vancouver, one area among many that is not without obstacles for the newcomers."
