The Surgeon

The Surgeon leading images. Two doctors in scrubs performing surgery.

This intimate film follows a team of surgeons led by Dr. Faustin Ntirenganya as they strive to meet the medical needs of a country where there is less than 1 surgeon per 100.000 people. Faustin’s ambitious plan to train a new generation of surgeons to confront Africa’s greatest health crisis is put to the test by the harsh realities of working against the odds—and the lure of lucrative opportunities in the West.
