Confronting a terrifying epidemic...
“Facing Darkness” is the true story of a group of American medical personnel in West Africa stricken with the deadly Ebola virus and the race against time for international relief organization Samaritan’s Purse to evacuate the patients and get them home for treatment.<br /><br />American aid workers Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol were medical missionaries working in a hospital in Liberia. As they fought a surging epidemic of the killer virus Ebola, a crisis the world largely ignored, Kent and Nancy caught the disease themselves. The team worked around the clock toward the sole hope for Brantly and Writebol — evacuating them to the United States for treatment and cure.<br /><br />The documentary underscores the selflessness with which aid workers risked their own lives to hep the afflicted. Many contracted the virus, which could be as easy as touching the perspiration of an infected person’s arm or face. Since Liberians have a custom of holding, hugging and washing their dead, cases of Ebola increased exponentially through the mourning process. Aid workers faced the difficult task of getting people to change deeply imbedded cultural practices. As the movie points out, during the Ebola crisis, your “enemy” could be your mother, sister, or next-door neighbor who simply wanted a hug or a handshake.<br /><br />A complicating factor in treating the outbreak was Liberia’s history of civil war and the dissemination of misinformation. Many Liberians believed that the aid workers themselves were intentionally spreading the disease, and hospitals were attacked.<br /><br />The documentary plays like a suspense thriller with the lives of millions at stake and the danger of a worldwide pandemic a real possibility were it not for the efforts of a relative few to stop the spread of the disease.<br /><br />Bonus materials on the widescreen DVD release include an overview of the Samaritan’s Purse ministry, footage of the film premiere in Atlanta, a message from executive producer Franklin Graham and Dr. Kent Brantly, Ebola survivors sharing their stories, a featurette about the widows of Ebola, and a theatrical trailer.
