On Call to a Nation
1958
1 hr 12 min
English
This is about doctors - and the National Health Service as they see it.
No trailer available
Casting real doctors instead of actors, this film uses scripted scenarios and interviews to see the National Health Service through their eyes. The documentary also shows that there is still division among doctors as to whether the NHS was a sound idea in the first place.
