LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "Body Team 12" is a 13-minute documentary short film from 2015 that brought writer and director David Darg his first Oscar nomination. And even if it lost to a longer film about women's rights in Pakistan, I am glad this one exists and it is maybe my winner from the nominees. It shows us the work of those in Liberia in charge of collecting dead bodies of people who died from Ebola and if these helpers didn't exist, then the country (Liberia in this case) would never even have a chance to become Ebola free. We find out some general stuff about their work, like their clothes, but also about the biggest problems they have, namely convincing the relatives that they can take the bodies away because it means they have no idea where the corpses of their loved ones are taken.You read so often about new diseases and hundreds of people dying from them, but this film, as short as it may be, actually gives these words and figures a face. I think everything here was done right. The choice to let one helper narrate the story was a wise one because nobody is closer to the contents of this movie. Focus is very good. We don't need to know where they are taking the bodies, we find out about their work and that's it. At slightly over 10 minutes, the film reaches depth and relevance on a level that most 90-minute documentaries can only dream of. In short: This film is a triumph and I am glad it got the Oscar nomination. Also a special thumbs-up to Darg and his crew for risking their own health in making this little film. I highly recommend checking it out. Close to a must-see as this is among 2015's very best, short or not short.

Lee Eisenberg David Darg's "Body Team 12" focuses on the Red Cross workers of Liberia during the Ebola outbreak. The story gets told by Garmai Sumo, a woman who worked as a nurse during the outbreak. Through the documentary, people are forced to bury their loved ones of all ages. Even amid this horror, people do what they can to continue with their lives.I doubt that people unaffected by the Ebola virus can truly know what it was like. This documentary, nominated for Best Documentary Short Subject at the Academy Awards, is probably the closest that the rest of the world will come to it. The main thing to note is that the people who collected the dead bodies performed an invaluable service just as much as any medical professional who tended to people. I recommend the documentary.

Dave McClain If you like true stories told very well, but briefly, and you'd like to get a leg up in an Oscar pool, then this review is for you! In my continuing effort to see as many Oscar nominees as possible, I took advantage of the opportunity to see the shorts.TV theatrical presentation "Oscar Nominated Short Films 2016: Documentary" (NR, 3:00 – with 10 min. intermission). Here's a brief, spoiler-free summary and evaluation of one of those five films... "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.

Greg I Hamilton Tribeca award winner Body Team 12 was one of my top three films nominated for the International Documentary Association (IDA)'s best short film of the year. The courage required to capture this story at the center of an ebola outbreak is almost inconceivable. Not only did the filmmakers rise to the occasion to 'get the goods' for their story, they managed to capture quiet, soulful moments that enriched the film. The overall effect is uplifting in the face of immense tragedy and hardship--a stunning feat.This is not mere journalistic storytelling, but something more artful. Watch for visual themes and motifs, subtly textured into the edit, that emphasize the spiritual and earthly sacrifice these brave workers are making for their fellow human beings. Hauntingly beautiful, terrifyingly real.
