Dr. Death: Cutthroat Conman

Documentary revealing the rise and fall of Paolo Macchiarini, the surgeon who ascended to fame after performing the world's first synthetic organ transplant, only to be later exposed as a con man.

With lies spanning multiple decades and countries, Macchiarini committed research fraud, falsified credentials, and performed dangerous procedures, all leading to devastating outcomes for his patients. His story has since been dramatised for the second season of the true-crime anthology series, Dr. Death.
