Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
Shot on location in the southern villages of Sri Lanka, Carl Strecker's deeply humanistic documentary follows the efforts of Muslim-American, Sri Lankan-born Dr. M. Rahmi Mowjood as he leads a team of American doctors and medical students on a relief mission to his home country six months after the December 2006 tsunami that devastated South Asia. His students looking to him for guidance and his patients looking to him for reassurance, Dr. Mowjood responds with patience and compassion while simultaneously making preparations for his upcoming wedding.
