CFF: American Doctor

American Doctor portrays the ongoing devastation in Gaza through the eyes of three American physicians who risk their lives caring for others.

Working in ravaged hospitals—places ordinarily protected in war—they experience the conflict’s catastrophic impact on healthcare.

Amid relentless danger and dwindling resources, they treat injured children and adult civilians whose suffering reveals the human cost of the destruction.

Their testimony illuminates not only a humanitarian crisis, but also the courage, compassion, and responsibility of those determined to preserve life in impossible conditions.

Intimate and unflinching, the documentary asks what it means to heal, to bear witness, and to refuse indifference.
