A short documentary filmed by David Darg, vice president of international operations for Operation Blessing, has been nominated for an Oscar.
"Body Team 12" was shot in Liberia in 2014 during the height of the Ebola outbreak.
Darg directed Operation Blessing's efforts on the ground to set up the first chlorine production facility in that country's history. Chlorine was used to help fight the Ebola outbreak.
The film chronicles a team of body collectors working with the Liberian Red Cross who removed dead bodies from homes and villages and took them to be burned to prevent the spread of the virus.
"Body Team 12" will be shown on HBO in early March. The film has helped raise $60,000 for Operation Blessing's Ebola orphan program.
