One man, Prof Christiaan Barnard, was courageous enough to transplant the first heart and change the future of heart surgery forever. The Heart of Cape Town explores how his legacy is remembered from preserving the rooms where the operation happened, to hearing stories of recent recipients and the new life that they have been given from this life-saving surgery.
