The Rescuers, the latest film from Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Michael King, uncovers the largely unknown stories of 13 heroic and courageous diplomats who, at tremendous personal cost, saved tens of thousands of Jews during World War II. The film follows Sir Martin Gilbert, a renowned historian of the 20th century and the Holocaust, and Stephanie Nyombayire, a young Rwandan anti-genocide activist who lost 100 members of her family in the Rwandan genocide of the 1990s, as they travel across 15 countries and three continents interviewing the survivors and descendants of the diplomats. Nyombayire and Gilbert explore and contemplate the past in a quest, in part, to understand what should be done to stop the ongoing genocide in Darfur and elsewhere.

The film screens Friday, March 16 at 9:15 p.m.; Saturday, March 17 at 2 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.; and Sunday, March 18 at 6 p.m. Admission is $7 for seniors, University of Miami alumni, faculty, non-UM students, and staff. General admission is $9. Free for UM students. To purchase tickets online or for more information, visit www.cosfordcinema.com or call 305-284-4861.

In picturesque Montmarte, three children wearing a yellow star play in the streets, oblivious to the darkness spreading over Nazi-occupied France as Hitler demands that the French government round up its Jews and put them on trains bound for extermination camps in the East. Within a short time, 13,000 of Paris’s Jews, among them 4,000 children, will be rounded up and sent on a road with no return.

With a meticulously constructed script based on extensive research and firsthand accounts, writer/director Rose Bosch brings to the screen one of the most moving dramas of the year. Powered by a string of stars, from Jean Reno (The Da Vinci Code, Leon: The Professional) to Mélanie Laurent (Inglourious Basterds, The Concert), La Rafle (The Roundup) became a box-office hit in France in the first half of 2010.

The Miller School of Medicine and Cleveland Clinic will team up with the Society for Perioperative Assessment and Quality Improvement to direct the upcoming Seventh Annual Perioperative Medicine Summit “Using Evidence to Improve Quality, Safety, and Patient Outcomes.” The course will be held March 15-17 at the Eden Roc Renaissance hotel, 4525 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach.

The summit will allow clinicians who are actively engaged in perioperative medical care to incorporate the latest findings from clinical research and recommendations from evidence-based guidelines into their practices to improve the quality and safety of their medical care. Evidence-based lectures will include clinical cases and an audience response system will be used to exchange information among faculty and attendees. A dedicated 15-minute Q&A session after each presentation has been a highlight of this summit. In addition, clinical and lab research, innovations, and clinical vignettes related to perioperative medicine will be selected for presentation.

The meeting is designed for internists, hospitalists, family practitioners, anesthesiologists, physician assistants, certified nurse anesthetists, nurse practitioners, and allied health professionals engaged in management of the perioperative patient. The summit is approved for 20.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits for physicians.
