In the remote countryside of Vietnam lie small populations of people with disabilities from having had leprosy. There are currently 22 villages like this in Vietnam and approximately 3,600 patients. Having survived a history of persecution, war and murder, they were exiled and forgotten by the outside world. These people live in little brick shacks with poor sanitation and no insulation from the elements. They have no means to improve their lives and solely rely on their caretakers. They receive most of their contact from the outside world, by little broken radios and TVs. Subjected to poor healthcare and inadequate food and funding, these people continue to survive and live a life forced upon them by their disease.
