This film invites you to be part of the struggles and aspirations of some 112 million Ethiopians, as it follows Dr. Shohista Saidkasimova, Consultant Ophthalmologist, arriving from the UK and arriving in a country riven by unrest and poverty. It follows her as she struggles, with the help of the locals, to deal with and perform much needed surgical operations on hundreds of patients suffering from chronic eye conditions.

Captured during a concentrated three-day period at the onset of 2018, amidst the backdrop of Ethiopia's pivotal national elections, the documentary was shot amid escalating anti-government demonstrations following the resignation of Prime Minister Desalegn. Against this tumultuous backdrop, Abiy Ahmed, an ethnic Oromo, was on the cusp of emerging triumphant over his rivals, poised to ascend as Ethiopia's transformative Prime Minister, evoking hope and aspirations.
