An incredible story of how one woman brought healing and hope to drug addicts and the most desperate.
Twenty-two year old Jackie Pullinger graduated as an oboe student at the Royal College of Music in England and then boarded a slow boat to China, praying for guidance about where to get off. She ended up in Hong Kong. She began with no organisation and no financial base, just an unshakable conviction that the same Jesus who helped and healed the hurting and homeless can do the same today.<br.
The Law of love is a documentary about Jackie's work that started in the drug-driven vice and violence of the old Walled City in Honk Kong. She started a youth club for heroin addicts, gained the respect of the notorious Triad leaders who controlled the Walled City and instituted the St. Stephen's Society for curing drug addicts. The cures are sought through prayer alone without any use of conventional methods. Her 'patients' withdraw from drugs with none of the usual agony associated with 'cold turkey'.
Jackie's courage and strength shine through in this candid two-part documentary that shows humanity at the brutal edge of existence and how tenderness and love, accompanied by the Gospel of Jesus, can transform lives.
