The Making of a Surgeon: Fighting Africa’s Hidden Crisis

The Making of a Surgeon is a compelling documentary following Dr. Faustin Ntirenganya and his team as they strive to meet the medical needs of Rwanda. For over a decade, Faustin has been one of only two reconstructive surgeons serving a nation of 14 million people. To bridge this staggering gap, he has launched an ambitious mission to train 30 new specialists by 2030.

In a region challenged by conflict and medical brain drain, Faustin works relentlessly - combining a grueling surgical schedule with international lobbying to secure vital equipment and funding. Sponsored by Operation Smile, this film captures his journey to build a sustainable surgical future by securing the resources and training programs necessary for the next generation of Rwandan doctors.
