Ingida Asfaw - Volvo for life Awards Documentary

Ingida Asfaw traveled two weeks from Ethiopia to America aboard a cargo ship in 1958, arriving at age sixteen with little money and the dream of returning to his native land as a medical doctor. Today, Dr. Asfaw is a renowned heart surgeon based in metropolitan Detroit who leads a team of physicians each year back to Ethiopia to provide free and critically needed health care. He is the founder of the Ethiopian North American Health Professionals Association. This short film by fbi productions, profiling his story, premiered at the Fourth Annual Volvo for life Awards ceremony in New York in April 2006.
