Fighting Ebola Outbreak Street by Street

Production

The New York Times

Health care systems in Monrovia were unable to keep up with Ebola as it quickly spread between communities. Some local ambulance workers were infected with the virus, while others were attacked for not getting to patients in time. This film follows ambulance nurse Gordon Kamara and his crew at the height of the Ebola outbreak in September 2014.
