Watch as one man tries to battle her...

There's a new movie coming out which tells the story of an African Medicine Man that travels throughout Africa to help treat victims of the aids crisis. He and a band of traditional healers journey to the most remote and most devasted areas of the continent to cure men, women, and children of aids. He uses "energy field" practices that he learned from Tibetan schools of medicine to heal them along with traditional African herbal knowledge. He is successful in gathering instruction from elders and the anscestors alike in finding the exact cures that are needed for each village using the resources at hand. His only enemy is the Catholic church, who under the direction of Mother Theresa would actually scout ahead and spread rumors of the illigitimacy of the Medicine man's talents and abilities. She along with backing from the Church would poison drinking water and crops of anyone who would not obey. She met with leaders of certain groups and even use threats of murder in efforts to tarnish his name before he arrived. With their influence and power, her group had the ability to reach many of the continental groups and have this man appear as a monster. Mother Theresa was even said to have molested young girls in private and these stories were told on more than one account from many villages. Young men and little girls alike voiced their horrors of things she and her nuns did to them. The story is told as the medicine man in the movie is recounting the hurdles he overcame to reach those few groups he was able to save. The movie is said to be very exilerating as we watch the nameless medicine man race troughout the continent to save the children from the disease of AIDS, and what the children called the "evil witch" who had the ability to hypnotize the masses to her wicked actions with her "spirits".

This movie tells the stroy of an African hero that challenged what we all might think was an altruistic person. It's interesting to see that these films are finally coming out to tell the story...

The film is set across the many beautiful landscapes of Africa...and is described as visually stunning and breathtaking, not only for the scenes of nature, but for the very story itself which personifies good and evil by illustrating the conflict between natives, and their oppressors.
