Medicine Man: The Stan Brock Story

This is the story of one Englishman who was variously a Cowboy and Ranch Manager in British Guyana, a naturalist, a TV wildlife presenter, and a film star Finally he founded a medical charity and spent the last 34 years of his life dedicated to the provision of free medical care for those in need. The film is about his amazing life and is an inspiration to all.

I cannot say enough about Brock. I watched him when I was young on Wild Kingdom. Why didn't I know what he was doing for Healthcare? Why do people have to die for us to know what exceptional humans they are?

I hope the documentary shows how southern, rural areas need so much help. I hope they stop voting against their own best interests. I hope more people donate to this great cause.

I loved how the film gave us insight into his upbringing, which was very sad, his time in the Amazon, and his founding of RAM.

Brock was an angel living among us. We see his despair. We see his humbleness. We see his humanity.

I cannot say enough good things about this wonderful man.

Every American should watch this documentary.

This movie and Stan Brock himself are inspiring. He saw such a massive need and took it upon himself to do something about it.

The impact RAM and Stan Brock have had is incredible. He was able to put together an organization of driven and dedicated people willing to work to help others and do so much good in the world. Stan Brock's backstory just makes what he's accomplished even more inspiring. The old clips, as well as the footage from current times piece together the heartfelt mission that is Remote Area Medical. This movie pulls as the heart strings of the viewers and captures your attention. Such a good movie that most will enjoy and everyone will walk away from in awe!

Saw this last night, found it both inspirational and engaging.

A really curious and unusual protagonist with an almost unbelievable backstory. Aided by the fact extraordinary vintage footage exists of his past exploits.

What a mystery he is! He created through sheer force of character and charisma an inspirational charity that helps millions. Jaw dropping stuff really.

Feel sad and outraged by US healthcare, but also hopeful and delighted at the lengths some go to help others in need whihc is truly life affirming.

Plus it features Anaconda wrestling! What's not to like.

Brilliant, I heartily recommend it.

Watched this at a film festival recently and just had to leave a review! Stan's story is fascinating, and his compassion truly heartwarming. This film often plays more like a narrative feature than a documentary. Although it can be difficult to watch the suffering at RAM clinics, this is something that every American needs to see. There is also lots of wonderful archive from Wild Kingdom and Stan's time in the Amazon, which provides a bit of relief so the film does not feel too heavy. We need more people like Stan today, hopefully his story will inspire others to do good!
