In <em>Hartstog<\/em>, the human drama surrounding the events that took place on 3 December 1967 is revealed in three parallel storylines by screenwriter Deon Opperman: Firstly, that of the Washkansky-family, anxiously awaiting a heart donor for the seriously ill Louis; the Darvalls, who suffer a tragic loss in an accident and of course Dr Chris Barnard and his team at the hospital, who made it all happen.<\/p>\n<p>Andr\u00e9 Velts directs this docudrama, which features a star-studded cast. Award-winning actor Carel Nel steps into the shoes (and scrubs) of Dr Chris Barnard, while his wife Aletta is played by Quinne Brown. Jacques Bessenger is Dr Barnard\u2019s surgeon-brother, Marius.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve always wanted to know more about the world\u2019s first heart transplant, be sure to catch <em>Hartstog<\/em> on ShowMax. It\u2019s a story of heartfelt passion, broken hearts and hope that shines a light on a piece of proudly South-African history which changed the world.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content-asset videofit\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Hartstog on Showmax | Trailer\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_vSSilkuuz4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fifty years after the first heart was successfully transplanted from one human to another, you can now see how these&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":213,"featured_media":200805,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[804,805],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-200804","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","category-what-to-watch"],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":804,"label":"Entertainment"},{"value":805,"label":"What to watch"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Rectangle_preview-1-1.png",800,450,false],"author_info":{"display_name":"AfriForum W\u00eareldwyd","author_link":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/author\/sue-ann\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":804,"name":"Entertainment","slug":"entertainment","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":804,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":149,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0","cat_ID":804,"category_count":149,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Entertainment","category_nicename":"entertainment","category_parent":0},{"term_id":805,"name":"What to watch","slug":"what-to-watch","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":805,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":804,"count":70,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0","cat_ID":805,"category_count":70,"category_description":"","cat_name":"What to watch","category_nicename":"what-to-watch","category_parent":804}],"tag_info":false,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Rectangle_preview-1-1.png","fimg_url":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Rectangle_preview-1-1.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200804","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/213"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=200804"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200804\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/200805"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=200804"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=200804"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wereldwyd.co.za\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=200804"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
