About this deal

He was heavily criticised at the time by some health leaders for failing to mention the workforce crisis. But that, the film-makers seem to have decided, is enough to evoke the surreality without edging into horror. So we see – and from a little distance – the chest wall being gently lifted off and set aside, the sun glowing for a moment through the skin between the ribs – rather than the business of its separation.

On board luxury cruise liner the Alden, a wealthy clientele have signed up for the opulence and glamour of a trans-Atlantic voyage. But the battle for power at the heart of a wealthy dynasty is about to turn to murder. One day, everything was exactly as it was supposed to be. And the next, the closest thing Abby ever had to a sister, Noreen, was just… gone. Charting the life of Toni Crews, and working alongside Brighton and Sussex Medical School, My Dead Body tells the incredible story of Toni’s illness with cancer before and after her death, narrated by her own words. On a luxury liner en route to New York, the battle for power within a wealthy dynasty is about to turn to murder. A dead body and a hotchpotch of homeowners in a residential building on a single night: all hell breaks loose.Professor Claire Smith, Head of Anatomy at Brighton and Sussex Medical School, said: “We have been so privileged to explore the journey of cancer through the incredible donation made by Toni. As part of this documentary, we were able to invite more than 1,000 students, including nurses, paramedics and neuroscientists, who wouldn’t normally get to learn about this one in a million cancer.

The film is made by 141 Productions, part of All3Media’s Objective Media Group, and directed by Emmy, BAFTA and RTS award-winning Sophie Robinson. In this never-before-seen medical investigation, the film follows Professor Claire Smith, Head of Anatomy at Brighton and Sussex Medical School, and her team as they dissect Toni’s body and chart the course of the disease from the initial diagnosis to her death four years later. By understanding exactly what caused Toni’s symptoms and building a timeline of how the cancer developed, this unique study will support decades of research for medical students and academics, with the aim of helping the lives of countless people for years to come.Toni’s gift of body donation doesn’t end with this documentary either; her body will be used to educate our medical students and doctors for years to come.” Over My Dead Body is a dark comedy that follows the chaotic events of a single night in a residential building. Ming, his wife, and mother-in-law discover an anonymous naked dead body on their doorstep, and they’re desperate to avoid any impact on their property value. They decide to shift the responsibility to their six neighbours, and soon, everyone is fighting to disassociate themselves from the corpse. As tensions rise and conflicts escalate, it becomes clear that nobody wants to take responsibility for the situation. But as dawn approaches and the body remains unclaimed, the residents are forced to work together to get rid of it. A twisted tale that explores the lengths people will go to avoid accountability and the unexpected bonds that can form in the most bizarre circumstances.
