Academy Award® Winner Best Documentary 1957

In this long lost Academy Award®-winning documentary covering the life and times of the legendary humanitarian and Nobel Peace Prize winner, the camera follows the good doctor around his hospital in French Equatorial Africa, where his efforts had helped the villagers build and improve their way of life.

The Roan Group's release of Albert Schweitzer restores over 40 minutes of footage to the film for a completely uncut presentation, making it a must-have for film collectors!

This amazing documentary features narration by legendary actors Burgess Meredith (Rocky) and Fredric March (The Best Years Of Our Lives) with incredible on-location footage of Albert Schweitzer at his hospital in Africa. Filmed by Erica Anderson (Grandma Moses), Albert Schweitzer takes a rarely seen look at a truly great man!
