About this event
Poh Si Teng · 93m · DCP
Three American physicians — Palestinian, Jewish, and Zoroastrian — fly into Gaza’s Nasser Hospital under fire, running surgeries in the middle of a war zone as patients arrive faster than they can be treated. Later they carry home what they witnessed to Congress. Director Poh Si Teng, who emptied her savings to make the film after a journalist colleague was killed in Gaza, insists that we bear witness: a photo of dead children remains unblurred. American Doctor refuses to look away, and asks whose deaths are allowed to matter.
Presented in partnership with Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine and Students for Justice in Palestine. Screening will be free to the public.
