Each day, he cares for the sickest and most desperate children in the world. During his journey, he meets three special patients, each trying to survive in the midst of extreme poverty and violence. Born in Goma follows Isaac, Gisele and Dieume as they work against remarkable odds to regain their health and build brighter futures.
...a heartfelt portrait... stories rendered in unflinching images, reveal the daily indignities and courageous struggle to live in a setting riven by war and poverty.
