Sparing no facts and names, the president of the Hospital of Love in Barretos denounces the subverted values he has seen in his many years working with cancer care, and shows the reality of a system that seems to close itself off when dealing with vulnerable people, exploiting them when they need it most, and getting more money in the process.
