How it feels

This Danish documentary compares the circulation of blood in the human body to the circulation of money in society. It explains the number of blood cells, the strength of blood vessels, the heart's function, and the bone marrow where red blood cells are produced. The film ends with a tour of Bispebjerg Hospital's new blood bank and a call for blood donors.

What happens

24.000.000.000.000 er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1950 instrueret af Svend Aage Lorentz efter eget manuskript. Blodets kredsløb hos mennesket sammenlignes med pengenes kredsløb i samfundet. Der fortælles om blodlegemernes antal og blodkarrenes styrke, om hjertets virksomhed og om den røde benmarv i knoglerne, hvor de røde blodlegemer dannes. Filmen slutter med en gennemgang af Bispebjerg Hospitals nye blodbank, idet den opfordrer folk til at melde sig som bloddonorer. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
