Please join us on Thursday, March 15 at 7 p.m. in Classroom 2A for our first Coffee Talk of this semester: “Where a hospital becomes a war zone.”

We will be watching a movie titled, “Baghdad: A Doctor’s Story,” and discussing it afterwards.

Popcorn will be served. We look forward to seeing you there!

Here is the description:

Baghdad: A Doctor’s Story
Filmed exclusively by an Iraqi doctor, This World reveals the terrible conditions of a civilian emergency room in Baghdad.

Al Yarmouk Hospital is in the most dangerous area of Baghdad.
Sectarian violence is tearing the city apart and ambulance crews go from one dangerous mission to another.
Talking on camera is dangerous, but here patients and doctors speak out.
Wherever they go, the doctor is there with his camera.
“People don’t know what is going on in Iraq,” he says, “they can’t hear the Iraqi people screaming.”
In the constant stream of news reports from Iraq, the voice of ordinary people seems to have been lost.
In this film, we hear from them directly… and get a harrowing insight into everyday life in Baghdad.
