The weight of saving lives

Directed by Seamus Watson

The Clinic is a documentary exploring the emotional realities of veterinary work through the perspectives of vets, vet nurses and vet techs. Following the care of Katy, a cat brought to the clinic by a rescue agency, the film looks at the compassion, connection and emotional strain that comes with caring for animals, while highlighting the often-overlooked impact of compassion fatigue on veterinary professionals.
