Beautiful faces<br />
by russell Martin<br />
Beautiful Faces offers a compelling look at one of the<br />
world’s most remarkable hospitals, the disfigured young<br />
patients to whom it offers new lives, and the team<br />
of surgeons, physicians, and medical professionals who<br />
believe it’s the best place in the world to practice<br />
their unique, life-transforming craft. Beautiful Faces<br />
interweaves the stories of patients and their families who<br />
come to the reconstructive plastic surgery unit at<br />
Hospital Gea Gonzalez seeking physical transformations<br />
that will renew their own and their loved ones lives<br />
with the personal stories of the enormously talented med-<br />
ical professionals whose work is both their passion and<br />
their gift to humankind. Beautiful Faces ultimately<br />
demonstrates that, in many ways, the distinction between<br />
patients and caregivers is only an illusory one, and that<br />
much more than cutting, sawing and sewing, the essen-<br />
tial task of the hospital is the freeing of the human<br />
spirit. It is work that allows doctors and patients alike to<br />
look comfortably in the mirror and understand that<br />
they are vitally important members of the human family.<br />

Beer is cHeaper<br />
tHan tHerapY<br />
by simone de Vries<br />
‘I’m 22 years old and I must have killed 30 people. The<br />
same thing that you were given badges for over in<br />
Iraq, would have you considered a serial killer over here.<br />
That’s a very weird thought to have running around<br />
in your head when it’s dark, going to sleep or late at night.’<br />
There is no place for doubt, sadness and fear in the<br />
American army. Still, many soldiers struggle with these<br />
feelings. Beer is Cheaper than Therapy portrays<br />
what goes on behind the façade of heroism and the ‘John<br />
Wayne mentality’.<br />
