1st Liver Transplant

Project: Burden of Genius

One of several sequences we produced for the film Burden of Genius.

This documentary explores the life of Dr. Thomas Starzl, a man many call the greatest surgeon of the 20th century and “the father of modern transplantation.”

In 1967, Dr. Starzl stunned the world with the first successful liver transplantation.
