Fred Hollows was a surgeon who believed that eyesight shouldn't be determined by where you were born or how much money you had. His work took him from Australia to some of the world's poorest communities, where he helped establish eye-care programs and trained local medical staff to continue the work.
Join Holly & Matthew as they explore the life and legacy of Fred Hollows, from his early career in ophthalmology and his work with FIrst Nations communities in Australia to the international foundation that continues his mission today. It's a story about medicine, social justice, and one very stubborn Australian who decided that preventable blindness shouldn't be something people simply had to accept.
