The Journey of Hope tells the true story of Sapna, a 10-year-old girl living below the poverty line in North-West India who suffers from leukemia. Each week, Sapna and many other cancer patients, take an 8 hour overnight train journey in order to reach a hospital where treatment is affordable.

CANCER, the world’s 2nd leading cause of death, is alarmingly prevalent in the farming region of Malwa in North-West India. The region has seen such a fast growing number of cancer patients that it is known as the Cancer Capital of India. Studies indicate excessive use of pesticides on food crops as the leading cause. As a result, farmers and their families live in a cesspool of toxicity that also contaminates the water they drink and bathe in.

The Acharya Tulsi Regional Cancer Hospital in Bikaner aims to provide underprivileged patients with free diagnosis, medication, overnight accommodations, and food. However, the hospital receives over one thousand patients a day and only has seventeen doctors and a constant bed shortage.

The filmmakers at Studio Birthplace were so moved by their experience in India, that they created a fund to help provide healthcare for cancer patients living below the poverty line in North-West India. In addition, the donations raised will fund education fees and expenses for Sapna & her siblings for many years to come. A portion of every “Flags” sale, stream and video will also be donated to this fund.

We invite you to join us in assisting cancer patients by making a donation at:

"Flags" Lyrics:

Somewhere in the fog I heard a cry
It kept me up for hours
Haunts me every night

Screaming through my veins the fire spreads
Fill me up with poison
Dark clouds overhead I’m soaking wet

I'm hurt, I’m hurt you didn’t know
But there’s no pretty way to tell you so
I’m tired, so tired I’m letting go
I’ve been burning flags to let you know
Time is up time has flown, time has flown

Here she comes she lays beside my head
She holds me through my winter
In this awful bed

Softly in my ear she casts her spell
"F*ck this cursed cancer
Send it straight to hell"
She knows me well

I’m hurt, this body’s wearing thin
A beautiful mistake I’m living in
I’m tired, sometimes I fantasize
Push me out to sea, coins on my eyes
Family friends say goodbye, say goodbye
I’m hurt, not hurt enough to die
See I was born to rage, born to fight
I’m tired, not tired enough to sleep
So devil on my chest don’t sing to me
Or take my breath, let me be, oh let me be
