The human experience
Title:
The human experience
Summary:
In a world fraught with hostility and violence, an altruistic group of young men endeavor to understand the true essence of the human spirit. They travel the world in search of the answers to the burning questions: Who am I? Who is Man? Why do we search for meaning? Their journey brings them into the middle of the lives of the homeless on the streets of New York City, the orphans and disabled children of Peru, and the abandoned lepers exiled to the forests of Ghana, Africa. What the young men discover changes them forever. Through one on one interviews and real life encounters, the brothers are awakened to the beauty of the human person and the resilience of the human spirit. Somewhere between living with the homeless on the streets of New York City, forming an intimate bond with orphans in Peru, and experiencing life amongst the African lepers who have been exiled to the forests of Ghana, these four world travelers gain a profound appreciation for humankind's unceasing will to endure and experience life, regardless of the seemingly insurmountable obstacles placed before them.
