Sister Kenny (1946) chronicles the inspiring journey of Elizabeth Kenny, a dedicated nurse working in the rugged Australian outback. After observing numerous polio patients, she embarked on a mission to develop a novel treatment for the debilitating disease. Her unconventional approach, however, met with fierce resistance from the established medical community. This opposition drove Kenny to invest countless hours into her work and to challenge the skeptical doctors who refused to acknowledge her breakthrough. Despite the strain this put on her personal life, including her marriage, Kenny's perseverance ultimately led to the establishment of the Kenny Institute at the University of Minnesota, solidifying her legacy as a pioneering figure in polio treatment.
