To Be First.

In 1967 four very different surgeons stood on the brink of medical immortality, all four were ready to proceed with the worlds first human heart transplant.

The three Americans had worked together for years to prepare for this but it was furiously ambitious young South African surgeon Christiaan Barnard who eventually won the race and made history.

The First Heart Transplant tells the remarkable story of this race.
Rupert Graves (V For Vendetta & Spooks) stars as Christiaan Barnard.
