Overview
- The documentary by Poh Si Teng debuts in Sundance’s U.S. Documentary Competition, centering on Drs. Feroze Sidhwa, Thaer Ahmad, and Mark Perlmutter as they volunteer in Gaza.
- The film shows repeated strikes on the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, including scenes where rescuers from the Palestinian Red Crescent are killed after an initial blast.
- Reviews describe a humanitarian focus with graphic hospital footage and on-camera assertions that U.S. tax dollars fund the violence, as the filmmakers frame the war as genocide.
- The doctors recount access denials, smuggling basic medical supplies when blocked, and operating under a foreign press ban reported to have been in place since October 2023.
- The film cites over 1,700 health workers killed since October 2023 and notes outside tallies of widespread hospital damage, as it follows the doctors’ largely fruitless advocacy in Washington; distribution is set through Watermelon Pictures with a holdback for potential streamer sale.
