Doctors Without Borders documentary

BOARDMAN — “Living in Emergency: Stories of Doctors Without Borders, Live with Elizabeth Vargas” is an one-night only event that will be broadcast via satellite from New York University to 450 movie theaters across the country, including Tinseltown in Boardman, at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 14.

Tickets are $12.50 and can be purchased in advance at FathomEvents.com/doctorswithoutborders.

Doctors Without Borders gave a documentary crew unlimited and uncensored access to its field operations in war-torn Congo and post-conflict Liberia.

The documentary has received critical acclaim.
