This 32-minute film takes viewers to the depressing world of the poor and 45,000 persons with leprosy in the Amazon region of Brazil where we discover a compassion that is extraordinary. Through the eyes and words of filmmaker Gerry Straub and his host, former Michigan lawyer, Jim Flickinger, who created a multidimensional project called Amazon Relief, we encounter the poor who are Jesus in a distressing disguise. The port city of Manaus is plagued by a poverty so lethal it is choking people to death. Hidden in the dreadful slums are countless malnourished children, who constantly face profound hunger.
