Calcutta, 1946. Violence rages in India. Sister Teresa, a small white woman from Albania, teaches at the Loreto Convent. Mother Teresa is the first to take injured Indians into the convent and treat them.-- Although Mother Teresa is making headway setting up a hospice in an abandoned Indian temple, she has many enemies. The Police Commissioner feels she 'pushes him around,' and radical youths think she is organizing a 'Christ factory,' taking weak souls away from their karma. A young reporter, Harry Harper, comes to write about the upcoming war between India and Pakistan and learns about Mother Teresa from Sergeant Stout, a British supporter. -- Harper witnesses Mother Teresa's humanity and how strongly she stands up to violent students who riot against her. She cleans maggots out of human wounds and cares for lepers. In truth, Mother Teresa is not proselytizing. Her steadfast teaching of love for all finally wins over her enemies. Harper's moving news stories bring Mother Teresa's message to the world. She becomes an important example to many and wins the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1979.
