The Guinea Pig Club
Geraldine James narrates a documentary about the Guinea Pig Club, a drinking club whose members were former WWII pilots who cheated death and had a disfigurement to prove it.
The Guinea Pig Club is an exclusive drinking club with gruesome initiation rights. You have to have been a WWII pilot, cheated death and have a disfigurement to prove it.
The president of the club was Archibald McIndoe, a plastic surgeon who pioneered experimental surgery in order to rebuild their faces and hands to give them a chance of a normal life.
The Guinea Pig Club's legacy could hold the key to trauma recovery today.
