American Doctor

Three doctors. Three identities. One oath to save lives.

Three physicians — Palestinian, Jewish and Zoroastrian— are unlikely friends united by a single oath to save lives. Dr Thaer Ahmad is measured and strategic, Dr Mark Perlmutter is blunt and wears his heart on his sleeve, and Dr Feroze Sidhwa is media-savvy and prolific. Captured as events unfold on the ground, the film follows them from a Gazan hospital under siege to the halls of Congress. Together, they fight to honour a promise to their Palestinian colleagues and patients, carrying the struggle to where it matters most: the United States of America.
