A timeless documentary adventure recounting the incredible life story of British-born Amazonian cowboy Stan Brock, who sacrificed everything to bring free healthcare to people in need. At once a heartwarming tribute to the unifying power of volunteerism, and an exploration of a perennial outsider’s search for meaning through giving. In 1985 Stan sold everything he owned and founded a small charity with the aim of bringing basic healthcare to people in the developing world. By 1992, Remote Area Medical switched its focus to running relief missions closer to home. This film is a challenging and 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 US healthcare crisis.
