The Doctor
“An Uplifting Story About Finding New Meaning In Life.”
Drama
Jack McKee is a doctor with it all: he's successful, he's rich, and he has no problems.... until he is diagnosed with throat cancer. Now that he has seen medicine, hospitals, and doctors from a patient's perspective, he realises that there is more to being a doctor than surgery and prescriptions.
VIBE
A profound and somber look at a doctor's life-altering diagnosis. It's a quiet, introspective journey that forces a successful man to confront his own mortality and re-evaluate his purpose. The film feels deeply human and thought-provoking.
