A Doctor's Sword (2015)
Brilliant Documentary
15 September 2015 - 4 out of 5 users found this review helpful.
A very sensitively thought out film. This completely non-judgemental story tells the incredible facts of the war time experiences of Dr Aidan MacCarthy in Europe and the far East. Interesting rare wartime film footage has been used, and where this was not possible, brilliant animated sequences have been used instead. This is a tremendous story of heroism and humanity amid wartime horrors.It also documents the search by Aidan's family to find out more of the background to their father's story and why a samurai sword is to be found in a small pub in Castletown Berehaven in the far south west of Ireland.This is a must see film.
