Doctor Tom Krueger from the United States in the film volunteered in Liberia in 2003, after two civil wars.He said, “It was pretty much of a shock when I got here.You can't describe the smells, the feeling of the heat on your body and the sweat running down your back.The smell of the pus(脓)that hits your nose, and of unwashed bodies in a closed room."
Another doctor ill the film, Australian Chris Brasheer, has been with Doctors Without Borders for nine years.He has served in the Democratic Republic of Congo and spent time in Liberia.Hs said, "No water, no electricity, no food-pretty apocalyptic really."
