MSF hosts a free documentary film screening and book launch at the University of the Witwatersrand as part of our first ever Crossing Frontlines event series from 22-24 October. The three-day series kicks off with a screening of the new documentary, Access to the Danger Zone, which offers a first-hand account of the dangers and difficulties of providing medical care to victims of war. You can also learn more about how MSF gains access to dangerous places to assist populations in need by joining us for the launch of MSF’s recently published book Humanitarian Negotiations Revealed.
