+ MoreWhen three American doctors — Palestinian, Jewish, and Zoroastrian — enter Gaza to save lives, they find themselves caught between medicine and politics, risking everything to expose the truth.
The war in Gaza has deeply involved another country: the United States. As the attacks intensified in Gaza and medical expertise and capabilities were decimated, American doctors felt a professional and moral obligation to act. Making the difficult but necessary triage decisions after an attack, caring for suffering children, and concerned for their own personal safety, the three physicians in American Doctor are impressive individuals from different backgrounds and experiences, unified in their desire to ease suffering and raise their voices as citizens to demand action from their own government. From Gaza hospitals to the halls of American power, director Poh Si Teng unflinchingly depicts a terrible reality and also shows a path forward to engage on such a difficult issue with humanity and collective action. — SS
