American Doctor
Synopsis
Three American doctors, each from different backgrounds (Palestinian, Jewish and Zoroastrian), are united by a shared commitment to saving lives. Dr. Thaer Ahmad, Dr. Mark Perlmutter and Dr. Feroze Sidhwa travel to Gaza to work in hospitals under extreme pressure, forced to make impossible decisions with limited resources and damaged infrastructure. American Doctor places us inside these spaces, revealing both the devastation of war and the demands of their work. Back in the United States, they speak out publicly, challenging those in power. Director Poh Si Teng delivers a confronting and deeply human film that reveals the horrors of this conflict while holding onto the possibility of compassion through action.
