This film is an awesome display of selfless love as doctors and volunteers travel to Liberia on a Mercy Ship, the Anastasis, to help people with various maladies including large cancerous growths and tumors in their mouths, much of it caused by poverty. The video is graphic and shows the ugliness of these various diseases, including cleft mouth. Yet, the noble spirit of the volunteers shines through.
Since 1978, 5.5 million people have been reached by the mercy ships. This video chronicles such heroes as Dr. Gary Parker, Don Stephens (who was inspired by Mother Teresa and the Sisters of Mercy to help others), and dentist Dr. Keith Chapman. The final results of the patients, to borrow the phrase their “extreme make-over,” will leave the viewer with a warm heart.
