Film: "City of Joy" (1992).
Max Lowe (Patrick Swayze) is a disillusioned American surgeon who travels to
India after a young patient dies on the operating table. He meets an illiterate
Indian farmer called Hasari (played by Om Puri) who moves to Calcutta to make
a better life for his family, and a British nurse, Joan Bethel (played by
Pauline Collins) who runs a free clinic in Calcutta's most dangerous neighbourhood.
Lowe's determination to quit medicine is challenged by Joan. When her clinic -
and the livelihood of her neighbours - is threatened by the brutal local "godfather",
Max teaches the impoverished Indians the strength of their own unity. The three
join together to transform a Calcutta ghetto into the City of Joy. A beautiful and inspiring film!
