Ep. 314 | Originally aired: April 21-23, 2018
International law outlaws the targeting of medical facilities in conflicts. However, guests, Justin Kenny and Steve Morrison, point to an alarming trend in the Syrian Civil War and other conflicts where combatants are targeting healthcare facilities and healthcare workers through their film, “The New Barbarianism.”
Justin Kenny is an award-winning television news producer and editor based in Washington, D.C. and the founder of Small Footprint Films. In 2017, he directed and wrote his first feature documentary along with Executive Producer and co-director Morrison, “The New Barbarianism.” The film was a collaboration with the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and takes a close look at the under-reported phenomenon of attacks on health care in today's wars.
Stephen Morrison is senior vice president at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and director of its Global Health Policy Center.
