A Certain Kind of Light" serves as a portrait of a sage like 93-year old man named, Wilber “Wil” Alexander who has sat at the bedside of the sick & the dying for the last 40 years. Using a method he calls, Whole Person Care, he invites the wounded to tell their stories as he walks alongside them and aiding in their search for meaning. He uniquely cares for sick, wounded & terminal patients without the modern technology, believing there is invaluable meaning and purpose in both, the illness and the experience of recovery. Wil's own health wains in a way that has him confronting his own mortality and all the while his peers work to capture & codify his methods in a way that can be taught to young physicians.
