At the center of this true, real-life documentary reenactment is Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol, who most should know survived Ebola with the help of experimental treatment from the CDC and Emory Hospital in Atlanta, and the countless others who prayed for the miracles that God delivered.
The film begins before the outbreak, introducing us to many of the key personnel that were involved from the beginning - in Liberia before the Ebola Outbreak in 2014 - through its end in 2016. Most of those included in the story work(ed) for Samaritan's Purse, a Christian faith-based International Relief organization run by Franklin Graham (Billy and Ruth Graham's eldest son) that's headquartered in Boone, NC.
One gets a chance to feel just how frightening and overwhelming the Ebola virus and its outbreak were to all those in country at the time, the struggles to get the World's attention (the lack of which caused Samaritan's Purse to stop for a reset), and the steep on-the-job training curve that all involved experienced.
Also learned is how Brantly, Writebol and others got infected, how this affected other staff members' ability to perform, about the selfless and desperate acts of service, and finally how the epidemic was quelled and its aftermath.
