title: The fighter.
abstract: In this true story, an Eritrean man's wife rapidly becomes unconscious, and he tenaciously pursues a diagnosis and procures treatment. His personal struggle, juxtaposed with reflection on Eritrea's 30-year fight for independence from Ethiopia, highlights the power of persistence in the face of some of the most adverse conditions in the world.
