Torkil Færø

Dr Torkil Færø is a general practitioner
and emergency physician, documentary
filmmaker, author and photographer.
In 1996 he was one of the first Norwegian
medics to work for Doctors Without
Borders
when he worked in war-torn
Angola.
Over a 25-year career as a freelance
doctor, he has worked all over
Norway, had tens of thousands of consultations
and gained a unique picture of the
diseases that plague us. He has learned
that the cause is most often found in the
stresses our lifestyles place on our bodies.
Færø is also an award-winning photographer,
author of Kamerakuren (The
Camera
Cure), and has made documentaries
about his pilgrimages to Nidaros
and Santiago de Compostela.
An inveterate traveller, he has made his
way by bicycle, motorbike,
kayak, boat
and car through over 80 countries, and
speaks eight languages. He lives in Oslo
with his wife and two children.
