What is it like to have God like surgical powers, yet to struggle against your own humanity? What’s it like to try and save a life, and yet to fail? Shot in a Ukrainian hospital full of desperate patients and makeshift equipment, this film is an intimate portrait of neurosurgeon Henry Marsh as he wrestles with the dilemmas of the doctor-patient relationship. “It’s like selling your soul to the devil, but what can you do? My baby son had a brain tumour and I was desperate for someone to help me. I simply can’t walk away from that need in others”
