In the rolling countryside of eastern Tennessee an unexplained medical phenomenon is unfolding. For 18 months teenager Calvino Inman has cried tears of blood on a daily basis – and the best doctors in the State can’t agree on the reason. Now Calvino is travelling to see a leading U.S eye clinic. Can they solve the mystery of his shocking condition? In India, Rashida Khatoon is also hoping someone will help her. For the last two years this mother of three has been crying tears of blood. At first she feared the reaction to her condition, believing she would be attacked as a demon. Instead, local Hindu holy men declared her a miracle, and followers flocked to her home, showering her and her family with gifts as holy offerings. But are Rashida’s tears genuine? There are some that claim she is manipulating the superstitions of the local people for financial gain.
