Course Overview

In Nepal’s remote villages, where medical access is scarce, a small team of acupuncturists and healthcare providers is making a profound difference. Compassion Connects follows the remarkable work of the Acupuncture Relief Project and its local partners as they tackle complex health challenges—whether it’s setting up primary care clinics in earthquake-affected areas, working with the government to expand integrative medicine, or training the next generation of Nepali healthcare providers.

Through seven gripping episodes, this documentary immerses you in the realities of rural healthcare, from managing tuberculosis in a child without access to modern medicine to supporting addiction recovery with acupuncture. Witness the resilience of practitioners, the crucial role of interpreters in bridging cultural gaps, and the groundbreaking steps toward a sustainable model for holistic healthcare in Nepal.

For acupuncturists and Chinese medicine practitioners, Compassion Connects is more than a documentary—it’s a testament to the power of integrative medicine in underserved communities. It’s a call to action to support and engage in meaningful, global healthcare work.
