Daugher of leprosy parents

"This document is a compassionate film about the most misunderstood disease in the world. Even though patients were discouraged from having children, my brother and I were fortunate to have two patients as our parents.
My mother would not speak to anyone about her life. Sally Squires was able to draw her story out with respect and understanding. My father trusted her to tell the story without fear of sensationalism.
Anyone who sees this film will come away with a better understanding of what it means when the doctors says you have leprosy.

Wonderful movie!

"My family really enjoyed this documentary. I had no idea that leprosy -- and a hospital where victims of the disease were forced to go -- existed in the United States, let alone in the Louisiana bayou. The beautiful footage and heartfelt sound track by Bela Fleck make it a really amazing journey into an untold history."
