The Miracle of Taxila - 1983

The true story of how an the compassion of a few individuals can change the lives of tens of thousands. Christian missionaries Dr. Norval and Dorothy Christy moved to the new country of Pakistan in 1947 as newlyweds, to help provide medical care for the hundreds of thousands of refugees created by India's bloody "partition". They stayed for over 40 years, curing blindness in tens of thousand of poor Muslims and creating an amazing surgical system that allowed Dr. Christy to personally perform more than 100,000 eye surgeries in his career. This film gives and fresh and important look at how Christians can work with Muslims for the benefit of the poor.
