Doctor James Barry fought to revolutionise medicine around the world...

​

He wound up in duels, court-martials and arrests for his unorthodox ways...

​

He was accused of a scandalous affair with the Cape's governor...

​

He kept a secret so shocking he would have been hung for it...

​

Doctor James Barry was born a woman.

​

Born an impoverished Irish girl with no prospects, Margaret Bulkley chose to become James Barry. Identifying as a man for the rest of his life, he rose
to the second-highest rank in the English army without ever being found out. 

But he never forgot the brave, aspirational young woman who gave up everything - even her own identity - to help the lives of others. 

​

Bound is the inspirational true story of sacrifice, self belief and determination to achieve, proving that talent really does will out.
