Second Victims

Directed by Zinnini Elkington1h 32m2025

During a hectic shift in the neurological department, skilled doctor Alexandra takes on extra responsibility. But a misjudgment ends in tragedy.

Our read: Second Victims (2025) reads as a sombre, steady, grounded drama entry — measured in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
