Heart Transplant: A Chance to Live

Directed by James W Newton

Based at The Freeman Hospital in Newcastle, one of Europe's leading multi-organ transplant centres, the film follows a group of seven patients ranging in age from eight months to 56 years old, all in desperate need of a new heart. Both the patients and the surgeons are facing a huge problem - in this country, there is a chronic shortage of suitable organs being donated for transplant.
