FredBurroughs wins with Bethune (1977). Based on a true story, Donald Sutherland plays as Canadian doctor Norman Bethune, a dedicated socialist and member of the Communist Party of Canada who advocated free universal healthcare and served as a doctor in the Spanish Civil War and then in the Sino-Japanese War. His service in China, treating peasants for free who were too poor to pay for medical care, made enough of an impression that after his death he was personally eulogized by Mao Zedong, who cited him as a model of socialist internationalism*. Though little known in his home country of Canada, he remains famous in China to this day, where there are multiple medical schools named after him. The movie is very low-budget but Donald Sutherland gave a good performance worthy of a man whose story deserves to be known.
