AMERICAN DOCTOR
Poh Si Teng / 2026 / 93’ / U.S.A., Malaysia, Qatar, Denmark, Palestine
American Doctor is a vérité documentary following three prominent physicians – Palestinian, Jewish and Zoroastrian, bound by the shared 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. Filmed in unfolding, on-the-ground scenes, the story follows them from a Gazan hospital under siege, to the halls of Congress. Together they fight to keep a promise to their Palestinian colleagues and patients, to continue the struggle where it matters most: the United States.
