The Story of Jackie Pullinger in Hong Kong

Twenty-two-year old Jackie Pullinger graduated as an oboe student at the Royal College of Music in England and then boarded a slow boat to China and prayed for guidance about where to get off. She ended up in Hong Kong.

She began with no organization and no financial base, just an unshakable conviction that the same Jesus who helped and healed the hurting and hopeless can do the same today.

This is a documentary about Jackie's work amid the drug-crazed vice and violence of the old Walled City in Hong Kong. She started a youth club for heroin addicts, gained the respect of the notorious Triad leaders who controlled the Walled City, and instituted the St. Stephen's Society for curing drug addicts. The cures are sought through prayer alone without any use of conventional methods. Her "patients" withdraw from drugs with none of the usual agony associated with "cold turkey." Her courage and strength shine through in this candid documentary that shows us humanity at the brutal edge of existence and how tenderness and love, accompanied by the Gospel of Christ, can transform lives.
