Airdate: The Dirty War on the NHS

2019 UK documentary The Dirty War on the NHS by Australian filmmaker John Pilger screens this Sunday on SBS.

This delves into Britain’s National Health Service, the world’s first universal public health service.

Designed to give millions of people freedom from fear, the NHS today is under threat of being sold off and converted to a free market model inspired by America’s disastrous health insurance system, which results in the death every year of an estimated 45,000 people.

Now, President Trump says the NHS is on the table in any future trade deal with America. Filmed in Britain and the United States, this timely and compelling documentary touches us all and reveals what may be the last battle to preserve the most fundamental human right.

Sunday, 16 February at 8.30pm on SBS.
