I'll echo what the reviews say -- inspiring

I'll echo what the reviews say -- inspiring. This is a man who is making his life count for something, He is both "up there" spiritually and someone you would like to sit down and talk to over lunch. Glad I had the chance to "meet" him in this film. He makes me want to do more with my life.

In my experience and study I have not

In my experience and study I have not been able to come up with any satisfying answer to the question of innocent suffering. I have noticed though that human beings are commonly the cause and the perpetuators. Where does one find hope for a better day in a climate of unhindered greed, unconstrained, hate-filled violence and the easy justification of amorality? A good start is seeing this movie. The Heart of Nuba is an exquisite documentary that somehow mines precious jewels of hope from the hard bedrock of intentionally inflicted horror. In South Sudan, people daily endure the systematic and brutal violence that results in unimaginable suffering wreaked upon them by their own indicted war criminal president, Omar Hassan al-Bashir. Yet, (there is always a yet) something greater is revealed in this film. We human beings always have agency to lean in the direction of upholding life, goodness, joy and even happiness. We can turn in a different direction and make a difference in our own sphere of influence. The Heart of Nuba documents precisely such a ship of hope in a sea of despair. The film chronicles Dr. Tom Catena, the only doctor at Mother of Mercy Hospital in the remote mountains of southern Sudan's Nuba Mountains. Even as aerial bombings frequently shatter small, peaceful villages, Dr. Catena tends to the sick and injured with unfettered dedication. He show us the very real connection that transcends all boundaries to our common humanity and the inherent dignity. He lives a life that lifts up everyone's self-worth beyond personal safety, the love of others over personal wealth or societal success. He lives as if the Gospel is actually true and that there really is a living God who truly cares every bit as much for the poor and disenfranchised. Filmmaker Kenneth Carlson has woven together a complex and dramatic story about how hope endures as the indomitable power over injustice. Dr. Tom demonstrates how hope can never be defeated as long as we continue to do all that we can to advance the cause of justice, advocacy, and dignity for all who suffer. It seems to me that Carlson has brought to light this story as a call to action. In a time of darkness, fear and poisonous rhetoric, each of us must be compelled to find our true vocation and live it fully no matter where our lives unfold. I urge everyone to see this film and discover that we all have the power and agency to overcome the darkest of evils. You will be changed.

Untold story about a true humanitarian

Director Ken Carlson's feature documentary about Dr. Tom - the only doctor at the only hospital for a million people in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan - is powerful, moving and inspiring. The people of the Nuba mountains have been hidden from the West until now. According to Dr. Tom, people who come to his hospital after being bombed and injured on orders by their own government's president Omar Al- Bashir (as well as for illnesses, childbirth and leprosy for starters), have just as much value as people everywhere. This is why he stay despite danger, lack of supplies and medicines. Raised a Catholic in New York, Dr. Tom played football for Brown, and served five years in the US Navy before coming to Africa. He prays each morning to focus his day on the people he serves. I've seen the film three times and cannot say enough about it.
