A stunning documentary about a team of young people...whose charitable medical work 30 years ago in remote Haiti came to ignite a healthcare movement.
Bending the Arc
"The arc of the universe is long, but it bends toward justice." They bent it faster.
Bending the Arc is a powerful documentary, directed by Academy Award®-Nominee Kief Davidson & Primetime Emmy Award Winner Pedro Kos, written by Academy Award®-Nominee Cori Shepherd Stern, about the extraordinary team of doctors and activists — including Paul Farmer, Jim Yong Kim, and Ophelia Dahl — whose work 30 years ago to save lives in a rural Haitian village grew into a global battle in the halls of power for the right to health for all.
Epic yet intimate, the film is a compelling argument for the power of collective vision and will in turning the tide of history.
