IMDB

Documentary proposal on Dr. José Gregorio Hernández that goes beyond the biography of the good and charitable doctor. The film explores the pantheon of our popular beliefs and the collective imaginary that venerates it, dreams it and represents it in naive paintings, religious stamps, carvings and popular sculptures; as well as in the oral tradition that proclaims its many miracles and healing.
