Pippa Biddle, a 22-year-old, posted a critical blog about her voluntourism experiences, which went viral and made her a symbol against privileged young white women volunteering overseas. The documentary follows a new group of western volunteers in Tanzania, Cambodia, and Ecuador, exposing the risks and exploitation that can occur when untrained medical volunteers take on procedures beyond their abilities, and when profit-driven companies prey on volunteers' good intentions.
