We are proud to present a brand new film documentary about the NHS – Under the Knife. This dramatic documentary is the only screening for the whole of Cambridgeshire and is one of 55 screenings around the country.
The film portrays vividly and in stark terms the crisis currently confronting our NHS. There is an increasing public awareness of the issues affecting the NHS, including the incremental and insidious process of privatisation, the closure and centralisation of vital services, the rapidly growing waiting lists for treatment and appointments, and the overcrowded Accident and Emergency Departments.
In this context the film presents as timely and necessary. Indeed, Ken Loach has described it as “a weapon in our struggle to save the NHS.” It is narrated by Alison Steadman and directed by Emmy award winning Susan Steinberg.

Following the film, we will be holding a short Q&A session, which will aim to give some attention to local health issues, such as the concerns presently being voiced concerning the removal of Acute Trauma Services from Hinchingbrooke Hospital and the consequent fears that this will lead to the closure of a 24/7 Accident and Emergency Department at Hinchingbrooke.
