A importância do gênero documentário para a área da saúde: à propósito da produção de Entre a morte e o renascimento

Abstract

This technical report deals with the relevance of the documentary genre for the health area, whose understanding was fundamental for the construction of the mini-documentary “Between death and rebirth”, as a Course Completion Work (TCC), of the Experimental Project type, for the Journalism course, at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). The objective is to gather testimonials from people who underwent organ or tissue transplant surgery during the coronavirus pandemic, people who are on the transplant waiting list and health professionals who work with organ and tissue harvesting and transplantation. As a result, the lag in the number of organ donation and capture during the pandemic process in Rio Grande do Norte is evident, resulting in an increase in the waiting list for transplantation. Using audiovisual and interview resources, the work provokes reflections on the subject.
