Instead, he found a lifetime commitment. Motivated by the poverty he and his wife witnessed during his visits to the region, Dave and his wife founded Esperanza in 1995, an organization dedicated to giving those who needed it "a hand up, not a hand out." Now, this absorbing film chronicles Esperanza's inspirational and moving story - through the eyes of those whose lives have been changed in incredible ways.
