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. "Poh Si Teng’s bracing, tortured, and utterly vital “American Doctor” is a documentary born from -- and in constant dialogue with -- that gnawing sense of helplessness." - David Ehrlich, IndieWire "What makes American Doctor stand out is how it eschews the bigger picture to focus primarily on the practical, and often hard-to-watch, reality of surgeons trying to save lives in the operating room." - Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter Tickets $12 ($11.40 at the door if available) Saturday, October 24, 6:00 PM tickets Sunday, November 1, 5:30 PM tickets
