In December 2019, Dr. Tetsu Nakamura was gunned down and killed in Afghanistan, where he had been providing humanitarian aid.
During his 35 years working on-site, Dr. Nakamura did much more than provide medical care. He dug wells, built irrigation canals, and gave life-saving assistance to the people around him. An irrigation canal project he completed in 2010 now supports the lives of 650,000 people. In this documentary, Dr. Nakamura's daughter speaks out in her first interview ever as a member of the Nakamura family.
Why was Dr. Nakamura such an inspiration to so many people? Using past video footage and numerous testimonials, this program looks back at how Dr. Tetsu Nakamura lived and dedicated his life to the innocent people of Afghanistan.
