快乐的城市

'Happy City' (1956) and 'Touch of his Hand' (1959) (each 35mins), dir. Bill Deneen. Sponsored by the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions, filmmaker Bill Deneen traveled three days by bullock cart to the remote leper colony run by Father Cesare Columbo in Kengtung (Kyiang Tong), Burma, to make these films. Intended to be films to be used for fundraising, they are fascinating documentaries about a humanitarian effort that would soon be terminated by the Burmese government.
