Three Lives Inextricably Intertwined

A handsome physician obsessed with caring for the underserved.

A shy and devout Mennonite nurse.

And the other woman-a brilliant green-eyed attorney and activist.

Against the backdrop of World War II, Nazi uprisings, political unrest in Argentina and Paraguay, and the scourge of leprosy left untreated, Dr. John and Clara Schmidt vow to live a life of service. But at what cost? 

John's dogged perseverance often verges on madness. Even in the face of intractable opposition, his stubborn righteousness - layered over a deep sense of worthlessness - drives him to tackle the seemingly impossible. His wife and nurse, Clara, quietly supports him in deflecting and overcoming one hurdle after another, while Ana, a fiercely passionate Argentinian woman, haunts John like demons, propelling him toward ever-greater risk-taking. 

Based on true events that span six decades, CALLED is an epic tale of adventure and love that celebrates the triumph of the human spirit.

Some have a story. They had a mission.
