An amazing, heartwarming story of triumph of the human spirit in Haiti, and of hope for the handicapped, everywhere.
On January 12, 2010, the earthquake that devastated Haiti left George, a professional dancer, with an amputated leg, and severe injuries in his remaining one. Now it seemed that his career was over, and that his life would never be the same. But then George met with the Israeli experts operating a rehabilitation project in post-quake Haiti.
Watch 28-year-old George one year later, following his intensive treatment in Israel and Haiti.
