To Provide All People (2018)
A one hour film poem 'In the voice of the NHS' to celebrate the 70th anniversary
Originally aired in 2018 to mark the 70th anniversary of the birth of the NHS, To Provide All People honours the commitment and sacrifice of our NHS workers during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Take a look at the trailer here.
“This eulogy [is] a psalm to humanity, to life and death, survival and tragedy, care and peril – everything precious and terrifying that happens in hospitals, our temples to mortality.”
“To Provide All People tells the story of a single day in the NHS, from dusk to dawn, with a single hospital at its heart. It will chart the emotional and philosophical map of what defines the NHS and the personal experiences that lie at the heart of the service; from patients to surgeons, porters to midwives.”
'TO PROVIDE ALL PEOPLE' was written by award-winning OWEN SHEERS and directed by PIP BROUGHTON. They first collaborated on BAFTA Cymru winning film poem 'THE GREEN HOLLOW'.
The film includes an ALL-STAR CAST featuring Martin Freeman, Eve Myles, Michael Sheen, Meera Syal, Michelle Collins, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Suzanne Packer and many more.
“This is an important and exciting commission for us and one that celebrates and recognises the people working in one of our most important public services. Alongside the extraordinary cast which Vox Pictures has secured, I’m just so thrilled to have Owen Sheers and Pip Broughton together again and working their unique magic.”
