BBC's The Documentary: Dying for a transplant

Airdate: Sunday, July 20, 2025 at 12 p.m.

In 2019 British-Nigerian comedian Emmanuel Sonubi suffered heart failure whilst on-stage during his set at a comedy club in Dubai. When he returned to the UK, he was told that he might need a heart transplant, but that there's a severe shortage of donors for people from his background. In Dying for a Transplant, Emmanuel explores the varying attitudes to organ donation and transplantation around the world and asks what different nations and cultures can learn from each other.
