English Surgeon, The

Aroview: Remarkable documentary focused on Dr. Henry Marsh - a UK-based neurosurgeon who makes an annual trip to Ukraine to offer free surgery to Ukrainian cancer patients.

A truly inspirational example of selfless humanity, the deeply passionate doctor reflects on the risks and rewards of life-and-death surgical procedures and the difficulty of achieving desired outcomes in the face of the desperately underfunded Ukrainian medical system. Humbly moving, at times heartbreakingly matter-of-fact, and featuring some ingenuous use of a cordless drill (not for the squeamish!), this is the empathetic antidote to emotionally overwrought medical dramas.
