Video documentation of a 2-week aid mission in the south of Madagascar.
We accompany a medical team of specialists for pediatric and plastic surgery to the Hopitaly Loterana, Manambaro. The doctors and nurses have been supporting the hospital under the direction of Dr. Heuric Rakotomalala for more than 10 years.
The mission is a project of pro interplast Seligenstadt, a non-profit association for the promotion of plastic surgery in developing countries.
Project website for (a lot) more images.
The reason for the trip was a request from a surgeon to document the work of the mediteam. A team of 11 doctors, anesthesiologists and nurses operate every year for one week free of charge at Hopitaly Loterana Manambaro, Madagascar. Pediatric and plastic surgery are the main focus.
The reportage shows the personal view of the authors on the events, there were no inhat specifications.
Post production was done entirely on location in Fort Dauphin and Antananarivo. Length 17 min, 1080p.
