Narrated by Richard Attenborough, this documentary focuses on the seemingly tireless Mother Teresa, the world-renowned Catholic nun who founded the Missionaries of Charity to help the sick and impoverished. The film follows Mother Teresa as she cares for the unfortunate with unshakable faith and passion while constantly promoting a message of peace. Outside of her base of operations in Calcutta, India, she visits various countries in turmoil, always ready to provide aid.

It would have been hard to mess this documentary up and to the filmmakers credit, they didn't. What was really nice were the human touches put on the film. Like the scene where some guy wants Mother Teresa to take his picture and she is so utterly bewildered by how to work the camera. I want to do some good deeds now.
