First Cut

The Incubator (2010x17)

Air date: Aug 27, 2010

Lucy Morgan's striking 'First Cut' documentary follows the stories of four of the 50,000 premature babies who, every year in the UK, begin life in a hospital incubator. With access to a neonatal intensive- care ward, her film captures personal family moments as parents hold their babies for the first time, see them through life-saving surgery and, after months of sitting beside an incubator, get to take their children home.
