Hidden Lives
Leprosy Mission Australia works with people with leprosy, other neglected tropical diseases and disabilities. They are the most marginalised and poorest of the poor. People often hidden from the rest of society.
Their lives might be completely difference to us in Australia, but they also have amazing life experiences worth sharing. As staff of the Leprosy Mission Australia, we want to uncover what is hidden and share with you the lives of the people we meet.
This podcast contains stories about people we've met during our work, who have shared their life journeys with us.
Yes, leprosy is still a thing but it doesn't have to be.

Hidden Lives
16 - The power of a movie
Ubed strongly believed in the power of traditional healings. When he started to see patches on his skin and felt tingling sensations over his body, naturally, he went to see a traditional healer to ask for help to remove the evil spirit plaguing his body. When this failed, Ubed didn't know who to turn to next.
But one time, on a night out, Ubed saw a movie that changed his whole life.
