Outcast: In Search of Leprosy, a Misunderstood Disease

Encountering the last leprosarium in Europe and remote villages in Mozambique, moving through Siberian settlements and Brazil's hinterlands, Outcast travels the margins of society and charts the history of a misunderstood disease. In doing so, it shines new light on the human condition, asking: does our sense of self always rely on the ostracisation of another?
