Dr Schweitzer became a 20th century hero when he turned his back on a brilliant career in Europe to run a jungle hospital in the heart of Africa. But in the 1960s the controversy started: was he a saint or racist, a colonialist or a humanitarian? This film visits Schweitzer's hospital in the African jungle to hear from his daughter and people who worked with him. It also explores the radically different views of Schweitzer today - views which reflect the problematic relationship between Africa and the West.
