Giuseppe Cipolat’s story unfolds during the harrowing Congo Crisis (1960–1962), where he served as the commanding medical officer at the 010 Hospital in Elisabethville, Katanga.

Sent by the Italian Red Cross as part of the ONUC forces, Cipolat led a mission of hope and resilience, providing life-saving care amidst the horrors of war. Under his guidance, the hospital became a crucial lifeline, embodying humanity and compassion during a time of unprecedented turmoil. This documentary delves into the extraordinary journey of a man whose courage and dedication left an indelible mark on one of the most challenging UN missions in history.
