A film directed by Harry Watt.

The distinguished director of such famous films as The Overlanders and Where No Vultures Fly has just completed his latest production. It receives its British premiere tonight on BBC Television; it is likely that on this same night it will be seen also for the first time in the United States, Canada, Switzerland, Australia, and Russia.
Harry Watt shot this remarkable, exciting, and moving film in several of the remote countries of the world. It is notable, as all his films are, for the brilliant photography of its out-of-doors scenes. It tells in three dramatic episodes the story of the great fight against ignorance and disease waged ceaselessly under the auspices of the World Health Organisation, by-people like Maria.
