Private Project

A Basement of Lions

Amateur filmmaker Frank Weyer spent a year working in Sierra Leone on a Doctors Without Borders mission. He discovered that while the expats working for NGO's like Doctors Without Borders get all the credit, the unheralded local staff carry most of the load. This is the story of five of them, told in their own words.
