The Journey of Hope [featuring “Flags“ by SYML]

The Journey of Hope tells the true story of Sapna, a 10-year-old girl living below the poverty line in North-West India who suffers from leukemia. Each week, Sapna and many other cancer patients, take an 8 hour overnight train journey in order to reach a hospital where treatment is affordable. CANCER, the world’s 2nd leading cause of death, is alarmingly prevalent in the farming region of Malwa in North-West India. The region has seen such a fast growing number of cancer patients that it is known as the Cancer Capital of India. Studies indicate excessive use of pesticides on food crops as the leading cause. As a result, farmers and their families live in a cesspool of toxicity that also contaminates the water they drink and bathe in. The Acharya Tulsi Regional Cancer Hospital in Bikaner aims to provide underprivileged patients with free diagnosis, medication, overnight accommodations, and food. However, the hospital receives over one thousand patients a day and only has seventeen doctors and a constant bed shortage. The filmmakers at Studio Birthplace were so moved by their experience in India, that they created a fund to help provide healthcare for cancer patients living below the poverty line in North-West India. In addition, the donations raised will fund education fees and expenses for Sapna & her siblings for many years to come. A portion of every “Flags” sale, stream and video will also be donated to this fund.
