Date & Time: Wednesday, April 9, 2025, 6 p.m.
Reception will begin at 6:00 p.m.; screening will begin at 6:30 p.m.
Location: The Walt Disney Family Museum

Partners In Health (PIH) invites you to a screening of the highly acclaimed documentary, Bending the Arc, which follows the work of extraordinary doctors and activists—including Paul Farmer, Jim Yong Kim, and Ophelia Dahl—whose work nearly 40 years ago to save lives in a rural Haitian village grew into a global battle in the halls of power for the right to health for all. Join PIH leaders Ali Lutz, PhD, PIH senior director of special projects; and Lesley King, PIH trustee, for a special reception and discussion around the screening.

Global Health Justice Week is a global campaign inspired by the legacy, teachings, and impact of PIH’s co-founder, the late Dr. Paul Farmer. This year, we'll especially focus on the importance of unity and solidarity in the fight for health justice. The fight could not be timelier; we hope you will join us to hear how you can take part in the movement.

Bending the Arc

Decades before they joined the fight against COVID-19, and long before they helped battle Ebola in West Africa, Dr. Paul Farmer, Dr. Jim Yong Kim, and Ophelia Dahl began a movement that would change global health forever by co-founding Partners In Health. Bending the Arc tells their story.

The community health model they developed to treat diseases like tuberculosis, HIV, and AIDS has saved millions of lives in the developing world. Their fight for universal health equity became a global battle in the highest halls of power for the right to health for all.
