Billed by The New York Times as "enthralling, astonishing 
 agonizingly
human," The English Surgeon is producer/director Geoffrey Smith's
unforgettable, award-winning story of Dr. Henry Marsh, a prominent British
brain surgeon who for 15 years has been traveling to Ukraine to help his
colleague Dr. Igor Kurilets save the lives of people who otherwise would
have had little or no chance of survival. Shot in a hospital full of
desperate patients and makeshift equipment, the film offers an intimate
portrait of the doctor-patient relationship; of humanity, frustration, and
failure; and of hope and perseverance against all odds.

The Ukrainian Museum's film series and programs are funded in part by the
New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.
