Synopsis :
What is it like to have God-like surgical powers, yet to struggle with your own humanity? What is it like to try and save a life, and yet to fail?
These are the dilemmas facing brain surgeon Dr Henry Marsh in this award winning and celebrated documentary. Driven by the need to help others, Henry has been going out to Kiev for over 15 years to help improve upon the medieval brain surgery he first discovered.
Shot in a hospital full of desperate patients and makeshift equipment, The English Surgeon is an intimate portrait of Dr Marsh as he wrestles with difficult choices affecting the lives of others.
With an original soundtrack by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, The English Surgeon openly confronts moral and ethical issues which touch every one of us. | Starring :
Henry Marsh and featuring the music of Nick Cave and Warren Ellis |
