Powerful, new documentary The Great NHS Heist reveals how the NHS has already been outsourced, privatised, and undermined, by stealth, over the last four decades.
Directed and filmed by videographer Drew McFadyen and produced by GP and activist Dr Bob Gill, this independent film takes aim at the complicity of successive governments since the 1980s in undermining what was once the crown jewel of British social democracy.
“You no longer had to kill yourself” to avoid being “a burden on your children” – Prof.Danny Dorling
“Until a Labour government set-up the universal, not-for-profit healthcare service in 1948, it was normal for people to die for lack of basic healthcare, the film explains.” – Journalist Mohamed Elmaazi 11th December 2019

Through Infinity is out on a tour across Europe to promote the upcoming album “The Afterlife”. Powerful visual and musical statement are the symbol of their live performance as they express the music that’s been taking its’ shape for a decade in the studio. The creative mastermind and founder of the band, guitarist Josip Pesut, carved his motivating life into a mission to take autobiographical songs into the world and also, to make a redemption to nature by planting a tree for each ticket sold on the tour.
Name of the tour “See You In The Afterlife” symbolically reflects on a situation where one has to stand before the mirror and decide either to remain being who he thinks he is or going after who he really is, thus leaving old life behind and stepping into so-called – afterlife.
