Doctor Bello Synopsis
Brilliant Cancer specialist Dr.
Michael Durant is emotionally troubled, wrestling with the traumatic loss of
his 10 year old daughter from Cancer. Immersing himself in his work in the
hospital, away from his wife who blames him for their child’s death, he forms
an unlikely bond with a sick, loving, but rambunctious seven year old boy Sam,
the son of a rich Jewish couple who are major contributors to the Hospital’s
Cancer Research Fund.
Unfortunately, Sam’s health
deteriorates drastically, and soon, he slips into a coma, with only a few days
to live. Dr. Durant becomes desperate, willing to risk anything to save the
child’s life. A surreptitious Nigerian Nurse convinces him to seek the help of
Dr. Bello, an uncertified Nigerian Doctor, known in the Brooklyn-African
underground as a miracle worker. Dr. Bello, an introvert with a controversial
past, secretly visits the child at night and administers a strange African
potion, replete with incantations and by the next morning, miraculously, the
child begins to recover, the Cancer speeding into remission.
The Hospital Medical Board
immediately orders an investigation and soon the secret is revealed and Dr.
Durant is suspended. Dr. Bello is arrested and charged with medical malpractice.
Dr. Durant soon falls into depression after his wife leaves him. Meanwhile, Dr.
Bello has fallen critically ill in jail and can only be saved by the ingestion
of the same potion that can only be found in the mysterious “Garden of Life,”
nestled on the peak of Nigeria’s sky mountains.
The world premiere of the movie
will be held on Thursday 27th September 2012 at The Kennedy Center for
Performing Arts, 2700 F St NW, Washington, DC 20566, USA. Will the cure for
cancer really be found in the sky Mountains of Africa? Watch the Trailer and
find out!
