1995, 30 minutes.
Lucille Teasdale never accepted her reputation as a heroine and a saint. She always fought – as a young woman doctor in 1940s Montreal, as the pioneer who with her husband Piero Corti built St. Mary’s Hospital in northern Uganda and turned it into a showcase, and as the fearless, stubborn woman who refused to back down during decades of rebellions, civil wars, massacres, Aids and Ebola epidemics. We meet Lucille still fighting as her life is coming to an end; it’s an encounter that marks us forever.
