In 2015, Dr. Kent Brantly and his wife Amber visited the Billy Graham Library for the release of their book, “Called for Life,” following Dr. Brantly’s recovery from Ebola. His story will now be featured in the upcoming film, “Facing Darkness,” produced by Samaritan’s Purse.

“Faith is not something that makes you safe,” Brantly says in an upcoming documentary, Facing Darkness.
