In Production

Title: TBC

Genre: Non-Fiction

Runtime: 40-60 minutes

Subject: NHS in Wales

Premise:

This work of non-fiction will be constructed from numerous interviews with NHS employees, from as many different bands as possible. To protect the identity of the participants, actors will then speak their words, telling their stories, word for word on screen, removing any identifiers and ensuring that the source always remains anonymous. Those actors will be the voice of the NHS staff, unfiltered, and free to discuss their work and their opinions with complete freedom or consequence. No real names will be used. All participating subjects will remain anonymous from the NHS as well as from all other participants. ONLY the filmmaker will know the identities of the participants and interviews will be conducted in private, at wherever location is preferred by the participant.

Goals:

There have been many documentaries that cover the NHS, however these have all placed their subjects on screen, directly or indirectly. This has made it difficult and sometimes impossible for NHS staff to speak honestly and openly about their work and the opinions they have for fear of losing their position. This non-fiction look into the NHS hopes to provide a platform for open discussion from the very people that understand the situation best.

It will be a balanced depiction of the great work that’s being done and the challenges that have to be tackled daily. No one understands these challenges better than the people working in the NHS and this is an opportunity to speak openly about the hardest parts of the job, the most rewarding parts of the job, the beautiful moments and the saddest ones, the future of the NHS, how you think the NHS can or will continue, and what should or needs to be done to keep this great institution, and whatever else you feel is important for people to know.

This production has no agenda to push and instead believes that the stories and words of the NHS staff will stand on their own, leaving a lasting impression on the audience and hopefully leading to a better understanding and increasing support of the NHS.

Distribution:

The finished film will be offered to multiple television channels across the UK and finally be handed over to a distribution agency that will make it available to all major streaming services.
