| Summary: | "I don't believe prayer works, I know it does." These are the words of Mitchell Krucoff, one of America's top heart surgeons, who with his colleague Suzanne Crater, is at the helm of one of the most scientifically driven and ambitious clinical studies to examine the link between prayer and healing. For much of modern history, religion has been considered a way to heal the soul, while medicine concentrated on ways to heal the body. Krucoff and Crater hope their study, involving 1500 patients, will prove what they both intuitively believe - that prayer can change lives. The film captures them praying together before performing high-risk heart operations; battling to secure funding; and waiting in nervous anticipation for the results of the study. |
