Hippocratic

Streaming video - 2017

Nobel Peace Prize nominee Dr. Rajagopal is a small man with a big dream. Described by the New York Times as "the father of palliative care in India," Dr. Raj (as he is called) strives to introduce ethical modern medicine through whole person care and universal access to morphine - the essential, but heavily restricted, narcotic pain medicine. In HIPPOCRATIC, this acclaimed physician shares the story of his life's work to reform a country where corruption is rife, bureaucracy is suffocating and the unregulated 'medical industry' is driving millions of vulnerable families into financial ruin every year. Be inspired by a tale that proves a small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission... can alter the course of history.
