Heroines of Health
This moving documentary by Lisa Russell shares "three of the many untold stories
that hold the key to unlocking better health for more people around the world."
The three women, one a medical doctor and teacher from India, another a midwife
assistant from Indonesia, and the third the director of a community health
center in Kenya, though worlds apart, share a common journey to bring hope to
women and children in their communities. Their individual commitments to follow
their dreams of helping others to live longer and better have involved
separation from family members, long travel, countless hours of study and hard
work, and many other challenges. The looks on their faces and on the faces of
those whose lives they have enriched speak volumes about the value of their
sacrifices and of the work of their hearts and hands.
