The Film That Became a Movement
The Heart of Nuba, the story of American doctor Tom Catena selflessly serving the needs of a forgotten people, has inspired a movement to save lives.
It has raised for than $2 million in donations, 100% of which have gone to medical supplies, staff training and other critical needs of “Dr. Tom’s” hospital, the Mother of Mercy Hospital in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan. The popularity of the film put pressure on Sudan’s leaders, exposed Omar al-Bashir’s crimes against his citizenry to the world, and help to spur the overthrow of the convicted war criminal Omar Al-Bashir.
There is more to be done. Join us now as we help the Nuba people to heal and rebuild.
