The Rotary Club of Northborough is hosting a screening of Bending the Arc, a groundbreaking documentary that tells the story of Partners In Health and the work of extraordinary doctors and activists, including the late Dr. Paul Farmer, Dr. Jim Yong Kim and Ophelia Dahl.
Their work, forty years ago, to save lives in a rural Haitian Village grew into a battle for the right to health for all. You may have heard of Partners In Health through their US Covid response and their fight against Ebola in West Africa.
The screening and a tribute to the late Dr. Paul Farmer will be held at Algonquin Regional High School Auditorium on Wednesday May 24. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with light refreshments and the tribute and screening begins at 7 p.m.
This is a fundraiser for Partners In Health. All donations are made at the door. Recommended donation is $20, but no amount is too small or too large. Consistent with the ethos of Partners In Health, there is no barrier to entry. Online donations welcomed.
