The Surgery Ship (2017)
A unique hospital ship offering lifesaving surgery sets sail for the poorest of the poor in Africa. They have just one year to do the impossible - to provide the care these people cannot get any other way. On board are volunteer doctors and nurses - now headed straight for the biggest medical and ethical challenges of their lives. Ahead lies unbelievable illnesses, many they have never seen outside of textbooks. A dramatic journey is underway as they deal with life and death cases and balance the fates of patients in their hands.

Benin is home to Christianity, Islam, and Voodoo, a religion where some believe curses cause monstrous deformities like 20-year-old Elisabeth's facial tumour, which is so large she hides in the shadows. With Mercy Ships' return, Islamic cleric Ramani presents with huge overgrowth of his facial bones, mother-of-six Vivienne with a life-threatening jaw tumour, and a Christian boy, Elie, with localised gigantism of his left foot and leg.
