The son of a headmaster, Alfred Waddell set out for New York in 1923 with dreams of becoming a doctor. But it was Nova Scotia's Dalhousie University that opened its doors for him to study medicine. Graduating in 1933, he faced the suspicions of Halifax's white and black communities who regarded him as an "outsider." Undaunted, Waddell brought medicine to far-flung black communities; spoke out against injustice; and even billeted black musicians like Cab Calloway, when he could not get a hotel room. A champion of social equality, Dr. Waddell raised his children with ideas of fairness and earned the respect of an entire city. Filmmaker Lalita Krishna tenderly weaves interviews, archival footage and lovely photography, in this heroic tale of a Trinidadian doctor whose humanity helped bridge the divide between Halifax's black and white communities.
