- In this long lost ACADEMY AWARD winning documentary covering the life and times of the legendary humanitarian and Nobel Peace Prize winner, the camera follows the good doctor around his hospital in French Equatorial Africa, where his efforts had helped the villagers build and improve their way of life.
This amazing documentary features narration by legendary actors Burgess Meredith and Fredric March with incredible on-location footage of Albert Schweitzer at his hospital in Africa.
Best Documentary -- 1957
A man is truly ethical only when he obeys the compulsion to help all life which he is able to assist, and shrinks from injuring anything that lives. -Albert Schweitzer

“Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace...”
― Albert Schweitzer
What an inspiring and great human being. Thank you for this wonderful film.
Albert Schweitzer is a true hero and inspiration! "Albert Schweitzer's Gift of Friendship", written by the photographer of this documentary, Erica Anderson, gives a beautiful insight to Dr. Schweitzer's humor, warmth and joy for life. He should be celebrated and taught today as a great example Christ's love for us all!
Erica Anderson is buried next to Dr. Schweitzer at the hospital cemetery...RIP
It's wonderful!! Thank you, doctor Schweitzer.
As a teenager, I actually found this really interesting yet inspiring! Thanks for uploading!!! :D
Raisa Alam so?
An inspirational documentary: of his many attributes, an abundance of energy and endurance are obvious.
Well isn't that interesting, CZcams removed this video in late 2019 - why, I have no idea. Thanks for letting me know it's back up.
@@DianeDi I enjoyed it very much amiga.
Can Hollywood start making films about the lives of people like Albert Schweitzer instead of ALL THE MINDLESS DISTRACTIONS they create in abundance. Truly incredible human being.
Smaller groups might need to do it first. One can actually created documentary videos pretty easily.
Hollywood is focused on making kid stuff and *ONLY* kid stuff! Easy to understand, no complications, just like the popcorn you buy at the front counter...
thankyou, l have a record of his playing the organ and l treasure it.He was a true christian the like you dont see often, ànd so humble and loving with simplicity, l respect this great man very much
I love him. He is a model to me. To hear him speaking dialect is so moving, because i was living in Black Forest for a long period of time, where the dialect is similar (alemannisch) .So i'm able to understand. - A great human.
Dr. Schweitzer isn't the only multi-talented genius to consider. Erica Andersen filmed this documentary under ATROCIOUS circumstances! The film would literally "melt in the camera" due to the extreme heat in equatorial Africa. She believed in Dr. Schweitzer's mission, and had worked as a RN in his hospital for 7 years, then (finally!) the Good Doctor said to her, "Erica, do you still want to make that film about my life?" She, of course, replied "Yes, Yes!" To which he replied, "Then, go ahead!" Her work of genius won the Best Documentary Academy Award for 1957. Also, be sure to read "In Africa With Schweitzer" by Dr. Edgar Berman...
Agree, there are many people around Dr. Albert Schweitzer who earn recognition. However, without him there would have never been the film. There possibly are other people with similar compassion, but Dr. Schweitzer is and always be my hero. I love working in Africa and go back next year.
Not available in my country. I also want to read.
It is sad to see men like him got forgotten
Kỳ Ngô Xuân only people who value life remember this man
yes it is sad. share the video if you can to others.
He has not been forgotten !
Thank you for this great upload about a great man.
inspiring video.what a Great Humanitarian."why do you sit in 3rd class where the seats are hard ? " Because there is no 4th class.
wow!! I'm an schweitzer and albert is probably a long away relative to me kinda cool!! Feel proud to be a part of the schweitzer family!!
Very great the full documentary about this inspiring man is on CZcams. I hope many people will watch it so he won't be forgotten.
Dank voor delen, daar ga ik eens goed voor zitten! Albert Schweitzer was een veelzijdig man en deed veel goeds in zijn leven!
Albert Schweitzer et mon arrière arrière grand pere dommage que je ne l'ai jamais connut :(
I will share this film as I believe that it can teach us how to heal the world, humanity and all there is. Just share!
Thanks for uploading! I've been reading his book and finding it to be very inspiring! Now I can know more about the life of this extraordinary man!
Dianedi, my aunt died from cancer at the age of 17. I never met her. She read: il est minuit du Dr. Schweitzer and she wanted to become a doctor; save the children in Africa. Her name was Diane, just like you. Thank you for sharing this documentary.
@backtodafuture1987 All life has meaning, and although this man dedicated every minute to helping others, we too can feel inspired to do more. It is heartwarming - that's for sure. So glad you enjoyed it!
Fascinating! Thank you for posting this video on CZcams!
very inspirational man thanks for putting this on.
I loved Schweitzer's quote on Africa. He tried so hard to alleviate quote
I am writing an essay on him so this will hopefully help!
What a great decent human being ,like Jesus.
I'm so glad you enjoyed this documentary. If only we had more people like Dr. Schweitzer, our world would be a much better place.
Most young adults have never heard of this amazing humanitarian.
Ah, but they're here already. These are the people being labeled as "tree huggers" These are the people attempting to educate people about GMO crops. These are the organic farmers, these are the people that rescue abandoned/abused animals. These are the people attempting to expose corruption, expose child abuse and pedophiles. There are people out there with the same heart/spirit of Albert just in different forms. Times have changed so much since then. The elite are attempting to squash people such as these. People need to wake up to the realization that they being conditioned/brainwashed, desensitized and corrupted by the TV/media.
Dr. Albert Schweitzer truly was a fascinating humanitarian.
Thank you for watching and do share!
A gentle genius.
Blood relation. This guy was the man.
Timothy Schweitzer I’m related to him too! My great grandfather was Hans Sperber, his cousin!
He'll always be my hero

What an extraordinary human being. Just wow!
What an inspiring story! The Four Percent Challenge and Strangest secret brought me to the discovery of Dr. Arnold Schweitzer
Thank You so much for this!
Thanks pal ! I posted the link in the video description.
animals suffer as much as we do until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace. well said albert. now lets close down all slaughterhouses and end this murder
In Go Set a Watchman, Jean Louise Finch says: "I want to be like Dr Schweitzer and play until I'm thirty.", presumably referring to his organ playing and obviously his life before going to Africa. So much like Jean Louise to admire this man. He has all the qualities she and Atticus tried to live by: musical, smart, humanitarian and a great affection for the negro, simply a wonderful man. We should all try to be more like Dr Schweitzman.
you are my idol .
Still remember him?
.
@Stolarz1987 Glad you enjoyed ;o)
People today are all full of talk and ideals. But they rarely devote their life to their ideals.Just talk a good talk but never do the walk like Schweitzer, Ghandi, Mother Theresa, and so many others.
yumi mango Well Stated Friend!
well stated.
Whenever an idealistic person journeyed to India to join Mother Teresa's mission, she would immediately *SEND THEM BACK HOME AGAIN*!! She would tell them, "Start your *OWN* mission, and keep in touch!" The tactic worked, because the Missionaries of Charity now has 517 missions in over 100 countries:

Hi DianeD
Can we use excerpts from this documentary or are there any copyrights issue to deal with? Thanks!
I don't know of any copyright issues with this. Feel free to use any of my content ;o) Cheers DD
At 0:57:32 Wow that sounds messed up at least to me.
@bauxxx Thank you and I agree, however, what is the chance of getting a teenager these days to sit through this? Their brains are so fired up and stimulated with all the latest high tech and high def technology, they would no doubt find this uninteresting. So sad . . . . .
I grew up with B & W so this looks good to me ;O)
Maybe better than you think! Not all teens are shallow and immature. Many adults with a lifelong mission first realized it in their formative years...
Doesn't look like much has changed.
spanish???? :(
Why is Allie posting this
I’m blood related to this guy, very closely related
No for real... he is apart of my family

Albert Schweitzer was one of the contemporary persons we learned to look up to as heroes in the school. Even as a child I was scheptical about the rightfulness of these hero declarations, and even more now. Too many of them has shown to be rather anti-heroes, like Mother Theresa. but perhaps this man deserved the status.
There's no "perhaps" about it. He founded a hospital in equatorial Africa 100 years ago which is still there today! Greatness, thy name is Albert Schweitzer...RIP
