Our NHS: A Hidden History

In this 59-minute documentary, David Olusoga investigates the often-overlooked contributions of nurses, doctors, and health workers from abroad who have supported the NHS for over 70 years. The film highlights how their presence has been vital to the institution's survival, especially during times of crisis such as the recent pandemic.

The documentary not only chronicles the professional journeys of these health workers but also addresses the social and political challenges they face regarding immigration. By intertwining personal stories with broader historical contexts, the film sheds light on the complexities surrounding the NHS and its workforce.

This exploration is particularly relevant in today's discussions about healthcare, immigration, and societal values. Collectors of documentary films may find this title significant for its timely subject matter and the insights it provides into the NHS's history and its reliance on overseas workers.
