This documentary adventure recounts the incredible life story of British-born Amazonian cowboy turned U.S. TV star Stan Brock, who sacrificed everything to bring free healthcare to people in need. At once a heart-warming tribute to the unifying power of volunteerism and an exploration of a perennial outsider's search for meaning through giving of himself, the film is an inspirational tale of an unlikely man on an improbable yet unwavering mission to unite a nation and resolve one of the biggest social issues of our time, the U.S. healthcare crisis. (APRIL 19)
Director’s Statement: Paul Michael Angell
Whilst many of us might aspire to a simpler and more meaningful existence, occasionally imagining what it would be like to strip life back to the very essentials and focus only on the things that truly matter, most of us would never contemplate actually doing it. Upon learning of Stan’s incredible story, I could not stop wondering about what could have compelled him to make such extreme sacrifices for the benefit of complete strangers. It is this simple quandary that marked the beginning of my life-changing journey alongside a man who eschewed everything and defined himself solely through helping others.
