Interesting documentary on Suriname, the country in the north coast of South America.
The documentary captures the lives of three individuals who are making a difference in Suriname in their own ways. Fabian is a photographer whose mission it is to photograph the beauty and the culture of Suriname and present it to the world.
He goes to various places in a boat and understands the people’s lives and their unique traditions and brings them to life with his camera. Rosanne is a doctor and her mission is to bring health care to the remotest part of Suriname. She is called as the flying doctor, because invariably she has to fly in a small plane provided by her NGO to bring supplies and medical care to the distant villages which do not have a medical facility like a clinic or a hospital.
Each small village has a trained nurse to take care of small medical ailments, but when there is an emergency, she is called upon to intervene and then she has to rush with her airplane and decide what is to be done for such patients. Invariably they are airlifted and taken to a hospital in the capital Paramaribo.
Monique has an interest in protecting the sloth bears who are the gentlest creatures on the earth and there are plenty of sloth bears in the country, which are rescued by her and relocated back to the forest. She has been doing this for 10 years and more and now her life revolves around this effort. She is passionate about wildlife and its protection.
Its an interesting documentary with a mix of narration and dialogues with plenty of videos in between. You can watch this documentary here
