"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.

    The open and active hearts of certain men brought about the impossible out of the despair and cynicism of the times and places they found themselves in. Viva la heart! Viva la doing what seems impossible for the love of other suffering humans,

    Humanity, the best of! So many people suffer because their story doesn't relate to us, particular here in America. Until WE learn that WE should be that EXAMPLE of EQUALITY, LOVE, CARE and COMPASSION for ALL LIVING THINGS we will continue to suffer. Thank You Dr. Farmer for your LOVE!

    That there are people who care and then do whatever they can to ensure that caring occurs for everyone. Such devotion, such caring in this man and his colleagues. I'm grateful to have been able to see that changes have occurred and will continue. Thank you for sharing this film.

    Many years ago in an airport I picked up a copy of Mountains Beyond Mountains", thinking it would be a travelogue. It changed the way I looked at the world forever. Paul Farmer was one of the brightest lights of our time. Thank you for this memorial!

    I have supported PIH for years..seeing this brief trailer reminds me to give again...and again. It is a group of people who passionately care for those who have so little help. Paul Farmer's story is compelling and ongoing. He blesses all who he ministers to.
