OPERATION: Operation is a documentary short film chronicling the classic American story of John Spinello, the inventor of the board game Operation, who after striking a raw deal to sell the patent to the game for $500 and forfeiting his rights to royalties, saw the game go on to sell 45 million copies. This is the story of how John’s broken heart was mended after learning that the game he invented has touched many more people, in many more ways than he ever could have imagined. OPERATION: Operation is available for purchase and to rent at www.gumroad.com/theplaymakers
