Dr. Akiva Tamir, Israeli pediatric cardiologist, and his team travel to Tanzania to examine hundreds of children, of whom only a handful can receive the life-saving treatment. When six year old Julius arrives at the clinic in critical condition, Dr. Tamir must decide whether to operate on the child, who has very little chance of surviving. This is a riveting portrayal of desperate families and the doctors who make life and death decisions.

Special guest: Rabbi David Litwack, Executive Director of Save a Child’s Heart
