NHS HEROES [w/t]

Production company Story Films

Commissioning editor Danny Horan

TX TBC

Doc following a small group of frontline workers over this unprecedented time in our history. This is a film that celebrates bravery, compassion and dedication as we see the truth of what is happening in hospital “red zones”, as staff risk infection, work exhausting shifts – often without being able to get food and essentials for their own families. As most of us are locked-in with our loved ones, many NHS workers have had to move away from vulnerable family members, or simply don’t have time to see them. Keeping us alive has become their priority.
