Lighichean a' toirt taic air Taobh Siar Afraga. Documentary series following surgery ship African Mercy. This episode sees the ship docking in Benin, West Africa.

Tha long ospadail shònraichte a tha a' toirt seachad obair-lannsa aig muir, a' dèanamh air na daoine as bochda ann an Afraga. Chan eil aca ach aon bhliadhna airson an obair do-dhèanta seo a dhèanamh - cùram a' thoirt do dhaoine nach fhaigh e ann an àite sam bith eile. Nuair a ruigeas an t-soitheach "Africa Mercy" caladh Benin air Taobh Siar Afraga, tha na mìltean de dhaoine a' dèanamh air na loidhnichean feitheamh far a bheil Nate agus an sgioba a' feuchainn ri cuideachadh a thoirt gu na 's urrainn dhaibh. Bidh sinn a' leantainn Julien a tha 35 aig a bheil cnap mòr air a ghèillean, an leanaban Patricia aig a bheil beàrn-bheòil agus Michel òg aig nach eil mòran dòchais a bhith beò fada, 's dotairean nam Mercy Ships a' dèanamh an dìcheall an cuideachadh.

A unique hospital ship offering life-saving surgery sets sail for the poorest of the poor in Africa. It has just one year to do the impossible - to provide the care these people cannot get any other way.
When the surgery ship Africa Mercy docks in Benin, West Africa, thousands of desperate people crush the screening line as Nate leads a team overwhelmed by saying "no" to so many, and "yes" to so few. We follow the stories of 35-year-old Julien, who has a disfiguring jaw tumour, cleft-lip baby Patricia and young Michel whose family is initially told he will die, as their lives are turned around by the volunteer Mercy Ships' doctors.
