Albert Schweitzer is the modern day saint of the 20th century, the peace Nobel Prize laureate who created the concept of “Reverence for Life”. He was one of the few universal geniuses, excelling as theologian, philosopher, musician, medical doctor and development worker, one of the first campaigners against nuclear warfare and forefather of the ecology movement. The film discovers the person behind the public image with the ultimate goal to find the relevance he holds for our world today.
