- It seems to have become impossible to win the battle against organized crime nowadays without using undercover practices. Agents infiltrate criminal groups and then secretly work their way up. For years, they may be in contact with leading criminals and they often have to be a criminal accomplice in order to gain confidence. Who are these people? What kind of personality do they have to want to do this and to be able to live this kind of life? What power do they derive from their undercover status and do they exercise this power legitimately? Undercover operations have resulted in spectacular successes, but also dangerous blunders where constitutional boundaries have often been exceeded. Based on exclusive shots of secret operations, of training undercover agents and of enthralling first-hand testimonies given by former European and American Undercover agents of the FBI and DEA, an exclusive picture is painted of this unknown world, the twilight zone between crime and law enforcement.
- They are well-known all over the world. TIME Magazine has featured them on its cover. Far from the comfort of their consulting rooms, in the midst of war and natural disasters, these doctors share the lives of their patients. Committed to medicine, the Hippocratic Oath and professional secrecy between doctor and patient, this kind of care is open to all. There are two billion people in the waiting room. Our cameras follow the doctors, probe into their daily lives and their dreams. Instead of the usual pictures of emergency treatment, they will show everyday life in the field: the quiet times, the doubts, the joys, the moments of weakness. "Doctors without Frontiers" has become the first world-wide organization for non-governmental medical aid. In 2001 it celebrates its 30th anniversary. This is the opportunity to look closely at a humanitarian generation which has been deeply involved with world events: earthquake in Nicaragua, tornados in Honduras, war in Lebanon, refugees in South-East Asia, boat people, war in Afghanistan, famine in Ethiopia, civil war in Nicaragua and Kurdistan, natural disasters in Mexico, Salvador, Bangladesh and even Armenia and Iran, famine in Sudan, aid to the poor and needy. We will tell the story of their incredible adventure. This diversity of personalities and experiences is one of the main features of the film. The frontiers between medicine, humanism, politics and media seem to be non-existent. Only the dream, a kind of lyrical obsession, remains. We try to paint a portrait of this universal and impressive history in a series of personal accounts. We see how the initial "without frontiers" concept developed, the evolution of the activities, the successes and failures, the ethics and errors.
