An Act of Faith tells the story of the Phelophepa [Good Clean Health] Train that travels to remote areas of South Africa bringing primary health care to impoverished rural people who do not have access to health facilities. This warm, humorous film follows the train’s extraordinary manager, Lilian Cingo, the medical staff, students and patients for 3 weeks during 1999. ‘We are like a big family’, laughs Christiaan Lintnaar the pharmacist ‘and like all families, we fight—but then we have to sit with the person over breakfast, lunch and dinner’.
