Synopsis

Zaevo's husband left her when she was on the brink of life or death while going through an obstructed labor. Now she is 16 and suffers from a terrible wound on her bladder that keeps her apart from her family and society. A glimpse of hope appears when a group of Latin-American and Spanish doctors travel to South Madagascar. Their goal is to cure patients with obstetric fistula, a taboo condition that keeps over 2 million women away from society. A documentary about people helping other people. An emotional and unprecedented insight into the heart of a modest surgery room where struggle and doubt emerge as the doctors battle with the limited resources they have available and the patients walk in knowing that this is the only hope to cure their illness. What's it like to have the power to cure others, while simultaneously confronting the limitations and vulnerabilities of your own human nature?

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 11

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
