Between September 2015 and June 2016, Discovery film crews followed patients, their families, doctors and researchers, and NIH clinical and care staff to provide a personal and realistic look at the challenges of carrying out cutting edge, experimental medicine. The endeavor was a massive undertaking, with Discovery crews capturing over 1,000 hours of footage in the hospital. More than 1,000 staff members consented to be filmed.
