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.

Is this possible in a civilized world?

I'm shocked and deeply concerned. The Heart of Nuba leaves me speechless. May god hold his hands over the hospital. I bow to Dr Tom and the staff at Mother of Mercy Hospital in Sudan. What can we do, to stop Bashi's barrage?Michael

This movie is both a beautifully shot Hero story and a full-on gut punch of reality...

I was not prepared for the immersive experience this beautifully shot doc provided. At once, you are in the peaceful and supportive community center and at the heart of a war. You meet one of the most heroic and selfless men on the planet and learn his backstory and the lives that he saves on a daily basis. I can't say enough about this documentary. You have to see it! It is life changing...
