S12 • E3 Jan 16, 1991
Thirteen-year-old Alejandra lives in poverty in a remote corner of Nicaragua and is almost totally blind. She and her grandmother pray daily for a miracle and at last their prayers could be answered. A 'flying hospital' is on its way to Managua: an old DC8 which is aeroplane, operating theatre and teaching hospital rolled into one. Alejandra decides to travel 250 miles in the hope of a cure but in Managua she finds there are over 500 others seeking a personal miracle and only 25 are going to make it.
