7.00: “Under the Knife.”
We are grateful to PamKProductions for allowing us to share the documentary “Under the Knife” free for a limited time.
Under The Knife is about the privatisation of the NHS by stealth and was produced by Pamela Kleinot and directed by Susan Steinberg.
This 2019 feature-length documentary film is narrated by actor Alison Steadman. Supported by Britain’s Labour Party, health trade unions, and the campaign group Keep Our NHS Public, it argues that England’s state-run National Health Service (NHS) is being intentionally privatised and underfunded, but its premise and conclusions have been disputed.The film looks at healthcare before the NHS and how this service came to be, followed by what happened over the subsequent seven decades, before presenting its arguments on privatisation, underfunding, the private finance initiative and the impact of the 2012 Health and Social Care Act. More than 60 people are interviewed in the film.
