Sawbones memorial

the long version

"After practising medicine for forty-five years, Doctor "Sawbones" Hunter is retiring. It's April 1948, and the long-awaited hospital in Upward, Saskatchewan is about to open. Although the war is over and the town is buoyed by optimism, a change is in the air." "Like every small town, Upward has its secrets. Doc Hunter's retirement proves a pivotal moment, when all the forces of the town come face to face with their mutual past, their rivalries and jealousies, their leaders and outcasts. Revealed through dialogue and memory, Sawbones Memorial is the story of one man as told by his town."--Jacket.
