The 2026 documentary follows three American physicians from distinct religious and cultural backgrounds—Dr. Thaer Ahmad (a Palestinian-American emergency doctor from Chicago), Dr. Mark Perlmutter (a Jewish orthopedic surgeon), and Dr. Feroze Sidhwa (a Zoroastrian trauma surgeon from California)—as they travel to volunteer in besieged hospitals in Gaza during a severe humanitarian crisis. 

United by their medical oath, they face a collapsing healthcare system, overwhelming casualties, and immense personal peril. After returning to North America, the three doctors must process their traumatic experiences while taking their advocacy to the halls of Congress and the public, urging political intervention against the ongoing violence and questioning U.S. military support. 

Film showing begins at 7pm! The film will be shown with no charge. A discussion with a local doctor who has served in Gaza will follow the film.
