Dying For A Transplant

Explore the varying attitudes to organ donation and transplantation around the world

In 2019 British-Nigerian comedian Emmanuel Sonubi suffered heart failure whilst on-stage during his set at a comedy club in Dubai, and when he returned to the UK was told that he might need a heart transplant but there's a severe shortage of donors for people from his background. In Dying for a Transplant, Emmanuel explores the varying attitudes to organ donation and transplantation around the world and asks what different nations and cultures can learn from each other.

A Made in Manchester production.
