The Ambulance Man

Meet John Shackleton, a mild mannered septuagenarian who drives old ambulances into war zones and other places of need. Over the last 20 years, 'Shack' has gone on 44 of these incredible adventures, traveling to places such as Kosovo, Afghanistan and Georgia, crossing continents, dodging armed guards and delivering much needed medical supplies to the innocent victims of poverty, conflict and natural disasters everywhere. 'The Ambulance Man' is a real life road movie following Shack on his epic trek across to Ukraine, splicing footage with his travels with interviews with his friends and family. 'The Ambulance Man' will be an engrossing celebration of both Shack and his work. Note: The film will now contain an unexpected coda following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022. Consequently, a final section of the documentary is currently being made.
