[edit] Information

This film follows the life of an extraordinary woman who revolutionised modern nursing and whose legacy continues to benefit millions. Born into a rich English family, Florence Nightingale broke through social and gender barriers to pioneer a profession previously reserved for men. Dedicating her life to helping those in need, she was a trailblazer who led a group of nurses to care for wounded soldiers during the Crimean War and developed revolutionary views about hygiene and sanitation. Hailed as a heroine by Queen Victoria and the British people upon her return from the front, Florence went on to establish the Nightingale Training School for Nurses and reform healthcare at home and abroad. Florence Nightingale died in 1910 aged 90, leaving behind an inspirational legacy.
