This film shows that this physical rehabilitation is only the first stage. Of equal importance is the reintegration of the patients into society - regaining a role, a job, and a means of earning a living, particularly in the case of those who have dependants. It explores the micro-credit project which, though the help of interest free loans, enables patients to take the first step towards resuming their place in society. This ICRC income-generating project is tailored to the needs of orthopaedic patients in Afghanistan, meeting the particular circumstances of that context.
