Vicki A Absolutely awesome...best feel good, hero, child of god documentary. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/23/25 Full Review Audience Member Can you imagine being the only doctor around for 3 million people and never giving up? I was so encouraged by Dr. Sam's story. His life-changing work --restoring vision and freedom/dignity to the blind person AND liberating a second person (usually a child) who functions as a guide for the former--is not only inspiring and amazing, but definitely worth sharing. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member What a wonderfully inspiring documentary about the power of one person's spirit to literally be able to raise an entire village. To lose your sight must be absolutely devastating, but to lose your sight and have so little else (very little money, very little food, very little clean water, barely having a roof over your head) is something I can't even wrap my head around. This doc really captures the beauty not only of Ethiopia, but the spirit, love and tenacity of its people who not only survive in such inhospitable conditions, but thrive and are happy. And to see one man, Dr. Bora, give so selflessly of his time, talent and ability to help them is truly inspiring. How he's able to perform so many intricate eye operations safely in such makeshift "operating rooms" is an eye-opener (no pun intended) and a miracle. The director did a great job of picking subjects that we cared about and wanted to see win, and, without giving too much away, if you don't shed a tear seeing what these people go through to attain something we all take for granted - our precious sight - your soul is not alive. Definitely the most feel-good experience I've had with a feature film this year. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member With over four million cases of visual impairment and a million people legally blind, Ethiopia has one of the highest rates of blindness within Africa. . But one man Dr. Samuel Bora is working to make a difference. As the only ophthalmologist for over 3 million people in rural Ethiopia who provides free cataract surgery to the blind poor, Dr. Bora performs up to 60 surgeries a day for those who would otherwise be forgotten. This movie allows you to step inside the operating room and witness the powerful impact he has on the lives of thousands of people, including a blind mother who has never seen her son. This is a hard movie to watch, but one that I feel that we all should just to realize exactly how lucky we are. Often, we can forget that and this movie is a brutal reminder.
