One of the most artistic and graphic public service films about blood donation ever, with its inventive camerawork and montage of people in pain undergoing gory operations – and how they need your blood now, now, now. Mithat Fagu’s audacious, stylised suffering was surprisingly approved for consumption, but the director would eventually fall foul of censors for his next, unfinished project on technology.
