Review of Beyond Borders (2003) by Paula S — 23 Oct 2008

There's a story here that NGO's deal with on a daily basis. Whether it's good acting or not, this movie can open your eyes to the realities of working in the field with disaster relief. After this movie, Angelie Jolie has dedicated part of her life (& money!) to international causes.

If you have a compassionate side, are not afraid to see the truth of the issues of poverty, war mongering, the arms race, why countries "give" donations to other countries, etc...then this movie is for you.

I became a Red Cross volunteer after this movie. These selfless individuals that give their lives, such as Doctors Without Borders, are rich and brave in ways that I cannot imagine in my lifetime. And, it also helps that there is a love story.

..lol...
