Nina works in the only small hospital of a provincial town as an OB-GYN. Single and in abstinence from personal relationships, she is unconditionally devoted to her Hippocratic oath. When a newborn dies within seconds of being delivered under her supervision, she is accused of wrongdoings. Under investigation, every detail of Nina’s personal and professional life is being scrutinized. Despite the risks, Nina remains devoted to her duty as a doctor, committed to doing what nobody else will.

13 response slips were returned. The breakdown, and comments were:

  • ‘Excellent’: 9 votes
    • This film needs to be seen by as many people as possible; the tactics used by the last 2 Governments are worthy of a Police State.  Sir Robert Peel and Kier Hardie must be spinning in their graves.
    • Superb! Salutary warning! Great Q&A!  Thanks to Trudi and Sam
    • Far more interesting – and disturbing – than anticipated.  Very thought-provoking.  Brave people!
    • Excellent film and discussion afterwards.
    • Very interesting and inspiring
    • What a coup to have your guests as well as a fascinating film.
      This is a great film club and must continue next year.
    • Thanks for the opportunity to see this detailed analysis of our descent into autocracy & removal of human rights.
    • An eye opener to what is happening.  Not what we hear from the media.
    • A story not covered by the right-wing media!
  • ‘Very Good’: 4 votes
    • The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good wo/men to do nothing.
    • Really pleased I attended – thought-provoking

Our Next Presentation: The Line We Crossed (Monday 20 October)

Chelmsford Theatre Studio, Fairfield Road @ 8PM (Doors open 7:15)

A nonviolent civil resistance group is demanding the UK government stop licensing new oil, gas and coal projects in the face of the climate emergency. The more they resist, the more the government clamps down on their right to protest and subjects them to arrests and harsh prison sentences. This film exposes the chilling effect of draconian laws being passed that affect the democratic rights of all British citizens. Are we at a tipping point of no return for our democratic rights as well as for the climate crisis?

Documentary • UK • Year: 2025
Language: English • Running time: 110 mins

Following the film, there will be a Q&A session with three of the group featured in the film.
