      Audience Member when your life is just a count of body bags. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member 8/17/17 HBO 2016 Academy Award Nominee Best Documentary Short. A great film can be made in under 15 minutes. Thankfully, there are people of courage and strength such as the members of this team who bravely face a treacherous disease like Ebola on a daily basis. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member "Body Team 12" (13 min.) - This film follows one group of Red Cross Workers whose job it was to collect bodies of the victims of the 2014-2015 Ebola outbreak in Liberia. We see the daily task through the eyes of the team's only female member and hear her discuss the importance and challenges of her task. This documentary short is an eye-opening and personal look at a huge news story. It spares us the most gruesome visuals of the team's work, but also fails to go deeply into the underlying story. "B+" The other four films in the shorts.tv theatrical presentation "Oscar Nominated Short Films 2016: Documentary" are... "Chau, beyond the Lines" "Claude Lanzmann: Spectres of the Shoah" "A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness" "Last Day of Freedom" We have posted our articles about each of those other films on their respective pages on this website. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member This is sad, eye-opening, and a little inspiring near the end.

      MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher In a challenging environment, Darg finds an unlikely balance between the downright apocalyptic nature of Sumo's work and the spirit she resolutely embodies, one full of confidence for the future of her country. Nov 30, 2020 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film This film is a monument to all those who have no graves, and a valuable outlet for Liberian voices in discussion often dominated by Western narratives. Rated: 4/5 Feb 22, 2016 Full Review Robin Clifford Reeling Reviews Nominee for Oscar Best Documentary Short 2016 Rated: B Jan 28, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews
