Giant

T01583781944
Telling the story of the 18th-century "Irish giant" who was betrayed in the name of science. "First do no harm", every doctor says. But what happens when a patient's body is so extraordinary, his corpse becomes an object of desire - a trophy? Giant tells the true tale of surgeon John Hunter and his obsession with Charles Byrne - a man he would ultimately betray in one of the most disturbing acts in the era of the grave robbers.
