I stumbled on this by accident on Showtime and have no idea why it hasn't gotten any press. The, to me, unknown leads are fantastic and the true story couldn't be any more inspiring. And the footage of Africa was amazing. Recommended.

This beautifully shot film has no plot, only a series of events in a pioneering woman doctor's life that are unconnected by any driving question about the main character. We know very little about the main character, what drives her, what she fears, what she wants, what's getting in her way. Everything that looks like it might develop into a promising bit of conflict is immediately brushed away as she goes from success to success. As a filmstrip about an important Canadian doctor, fine, but as drama? I think not.

This was one of the best TV Canadian made movies I have seen in a long time. It makes you aware of the situations in developing countries in Africa(the movie was based on a true story of two Canadians who worked in Uganda (I think)) The actors in it portrayed these heroic doctors extremely well. To any Canadian who didn't see this movie on ctv, I really suggest you see if it comes on again.
