About the Documentary
In the 1980s, three young visionaries—Dr. Paul Farmer, Dr. Jim Yong Kim, and Ophelia Dahl—embarked on a journey that would transform global health. Not long ago, the global health establishment declared it was impossible to treat impoverished people suffering from certain deadly diseases, and that delivering quality care in marginalized communities was “unsustainable.”
These social justice and global health advocates set out to prove them wrong. PIH’s revolutionary model of training community members as health workers and treating all people with dignity and world-class medicine has forever changed public health. Bending the Arc chronicles their inspiring story and the founding of Partners In Health.
