Product Description Television drama about what happened when a British ambulance unit was diverted from the frontline to deal with the aftermath of the liberation of the concentration camp at Belsen. Believing they are on the way to a prisoner of war camp to assist with a medical emergency, the group are totally unprepared for the humanitarian catastrophe they find - 40,000 people living in horrific squalor; suffering from starvation and a lack of the most basic medical care. As an outbreak of Typhus spreads through the camp, the team struggles to cope with the immense task before them. Based on eyewitness accounts, the film stars Iain Glen, Corin Redgrave, Jemma Redgrave, Nigel Lindsay and Tobias Menzies, and reveals the extraordinary true story behind one of the most heroic medical relief operations in history. Amazon.co.uk Review The date was April 17th 1945 and the battle for Berlin raged through northern Germany. But a British ambulance unit was diverted from the frontline to handle an unfolding medical crisis. The liberation of Belsen did not bring an end to the death toll. Instead, it was the start of a humanitarian catastrophe. 40,000 prisoners were trapped in a man-made camp of indescribable squalor; deprived of food, clothing and basic medical care. In the space of one month an international team of doctors and nurses battled against logistical hurdles and administrative red tape to save thousands of lives and build the largest hospital in Europe. This powerful medical drama starring Iain Glen, Jemma Redgrave, Nigel Lindsay, Tobias Menzies and Corin Redgrave, takes us behind-the-scenes of one of the most awesome emergency rescue operations in history.
