Australia's nearest neighbour, East Timor currently has 300 volunteer Cuban health workers (220 of them doctors), who have been playing an important role in helping build the country's health system.<br>
<br>As part of Cuba's commitment towards sustainability, 850 Timorese students are studying medicine in Cuba and in East Timor under Cuban medical trainers and with scholarships provided by the Cuban government. This documentary features interviews with some of those Timorese students studying at the biggest medical college on earth. From 2010 onwards, these 850 young people will begin to take control of their country's health system.<br>
