Cancerman - The Milan Brych Affair
In 1970s New Zealand, one man conned everyone into believing that he was one of the world's premier cancer specialists. It was a time where patients clung to hope in the face of the grimmest diagnoses.
A Czech immigrant doctor called Milan Brych managed to persuade the nation that he was the one who would make a difference to his patients.
Suave and compelling, Brych was a polarising figure - hated by some, adored by many, his presence in the New Zealand medical system had horrific repercussions for all involved. Adored and vilified in equal measures, Brych was a phoney - a man whose actions caused massive changes in the way cancer was to be treated in New Zealand.
But this story is about how one man span such a web of deceit and fraudulence that even Hollywood was taken in - still to this day, there are some who believe he was little short of a saint.
A gripping docudrama which centres on one man's quest to expose Brych's lies, Cancerman goes behind the scenes to expose one of New Zealand's biggest ever medical hoaxers.
