The English Surgeon is the story of acclaimed British neurosurgeon Henry Marsh, who has traveled to Ukraine for 15 years to treat patients who have been left to die; of his friend and medical colleague in Kyiv who carries on the fight despite official hostility and archaic surgical conditions; and of a young patient who hopes that Henry can save his life. As an outreach tool, the film provides an excellent springboard for discussions about doctors and the risks they must take, health care in Ukraine and how volunteering can make a difference.
