South African Premiere of the film Hippocratic
We are thrilled to announce that our programme will include the premiere showing in South Africa of the acclaimed film Hippocratic: 18 Experiments in Gently Shaking the World exploring the life story of the extraordinary Indian physician, Dr MR Rajagopal. Dr Raj, described by the New York Times as 'the father of palliative care in India', is a small man with a big dream: a pain-free India. This film will transport you through time and space on an unforgettable journey through India and bring to light the realities of providing health care to the world's most populous democratic society.
