Lion Souls

Evoking the soul of a country through a story of adversity, courage and hope, Lion Souls is a journey in Zimbabwe following the lives of two men, brought together not by fate, but by faith in a brighter future. Carlo Spagnolli is an Italian surgeon who has devoted his life to helping others in Africa. Thomas is one of his patients, a 25-year-old man confined to a wheelchair after a ruthless beating by soldiers that severely damaged his spine. With Carlo’s help, Thomas will face the biggest challenge of his life: standing up and walking again. The two men meet as doctor and patient, but their story is much deeper than that of a Good Samaritan and a helpless victim. It’s a story about the power of ideals; about keeping the faith; about fighting the good fight in the face of adversity. It’s a parable of healing, and not just of one man.
