On Call to a Nation (1958)

Directed by Richard Cawston

“This is about doctors - and the National Health Service as they see it.”

Drama, Documentary · 1h 12m

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.
