Description

This extraordinary portrait of renowned British neurosurgeon Henry Marsh won Hot Docs’ International Feature Award in 2008—and for good reason. For over 15 years, Marsh has traveled to the Ukraine to treat patients who have been left to die in harrowing conditions. His compassion and commitment to relieving suffering has long resonated with audiences, and we are proud to look back at his remarkable story. Catch up with the maverick doctor as he continues to perform his essential surgical care around the world.

Henry Marsh will join us via Skype for a post-screening discussion with director Geoffrey Smith.
