When three American doctors – Palestinian, Jewish and Zoroastrian – enter Gaza to save lives, they find themselves caught between medicine and politics, risking everything to expose the truth.

‘American Doctor’ is a vérité non-fiction film following three prominent physicians—Palestinian, Jewish, and Zoroastrian—friends who couldn’t be more different but are bound by the Hippocratic Oath to heal. Filmed in unfolding, on-the-ground scenes, the story follows them from a Gaza hospital under siege to the halls of Congress.
