For All The World To See is a 1992 Australian documentary film, created by Pat Fiske, that follows Professor Fred Hollows on a trip to Eritrea and Nepal.[1][2]
Reception
[edit]Dougal MacDonald of the Canberra Times gave it 4 stars. He finishes "I have said little in this review about Hollows's work, the restoration of sight in people living in poverty. The film admirably tells that story, delivering a superbly crafted coda which, without fanfare or hype, leaves no doubt about the esteem with which the people he has helped to help themselves regard him."[3] Neil Jillett in the Age says "This excellent documentary by US-born director Pat Fiske presents Hollows as a man whose folksy manner at times seems less than genuine, but whose nobility as a practical humanitarian is never in doubt."[4]
