Dr. Henry Marsh is a renowned neurosurgeon from the UK, who lives with his wife in their luxurious South London home. But Dr. Marsh lives a double life - every year, for the past fifteen years, the good doctor spends a few weeks in the Ukraine, offering free medical consultations and performing brain surgery on tumours deemed "inoperable" by Ukrainian doctors. In primitive conditions and without the proper tools, Marsh and his protege, Dr. Igor Petrovich, perform some of the most highly complex and dangerous surgeries for a poverty-stricken and hope-deprived people. Filmed in the Ukrainian winter of 2007, The English Surgeon is an awe-inspiring, humourous and emotive documentary about one man's incredible desire to help in any way he can. A truly inspirational story about a remarkably selfless individual and the country he has grown to love.
