About this event
(Poh Si Teng, 2026, USA/Palestine/Malaysia/Qatar/Denmark, 90 minutes) American Doctor is a vérité documentary following three prominent physicians–Palestinian, Jewish and Zoroastrian—friends who couldn’t be more different but are 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. A breakaway hit at the Sundance and True/False film festivals earlier this year, American Doctor comes from Poh Si Teng, producer of the Oscar-nominated St. Louis Superman.
