Dave Evans was a renowned prosthetist, humanitarian and peace activist. A
double amputee himself, he dedicated his post-military career to
transforming lives shattered by these seemingly never-ending,
interchangeable wars. From Syrian refugees in a prosthetics clinic in
Amman, Jordan, to the fallout of war in places like Iraq, Dave chose a
life of service to others.
This film profiles Dave's 50-year
career making and fitting artificial legs, arms, and hands for civilians
and combatants in conflict zones and numerous countries, after losing
his own legs below the knees in Vietnam. Featuring interviews and
footage from around the world, The Wake Up Call was crafted by Alison
Gilkey and Eric Neudel of Storyline Motion Pictures whose goal is to
craft “thought-provoking, high quality programs about often overlooked
social issues.”
