UCI Analysis: 1) Patient expected of having serious infectious disease
by lead physician; however, it took a couple of days to confirm with
heads of hospital before implementing full infectious disease protocol
and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). 2) All medical personnel
were permitted to continue their normal lives when they should have
immediately been put into quarantine until they were confirmed to be
not infected. 3) Diplomats attempted to overrule medical decisions due
to their political. 4) Hospital notified international organizations
(WHO, CDC) for them to be prepared for potential outbreak.
5) Key takeaway is that diligence in identifying infected cases,
quarantining suspected patients, continued hydration of patients,
keeping patients in good spirits, and tracking the individual daily
progress of each patient was key to stopping Ebola deterioration and
enhanced chance of survival.

- Rating: TV-MA
- Time: 2h 17m
- Cast: Idris Elba, Abraham Attah, Kurt Egyiawan

UCI Analysis: 1) A good movie that reflects the ravages of civil war and
how western military domination philosophy has been adopted by
Dictatorship/Authoritarian regimes in Africa. The all too common
theme and reality of children being forced into adulthood by the
environment they were born and grew up in. Slaughter scenes by
children are graphic.

Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Wings Over Ethiopia is the filmed record of a treacherous airplane flight
over the titular African nation. Taking off from Switzerland, the plane
glides gracefully over Egypt and the Sudan before reaching its
destination of Addis Abada. The passengers are greeted by Emperor
Haile Selassie, then they journey by auto into the Ethiopian interior,
where they come face to face with some of the most primitive native
tribes in existence. After several jaw-dropping glances a tribal
ceremonials, the film shifts its attention to Ethiopian military
maneuvers, unexpectedly coming to a conclusion with a public
execution! Chances are that the citizens of Ethiopia would have
welcomed more airborne filming expeditions of this nature, and fewer
of Mussolini's bombing raids.
