Official trailer for Poh Si Teng’s ‘American Doctor’ - In select theaters August 14.

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 their 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.

If the world was just

Dr Abu Safiya would not be

dying in prison,

badly abused,

held without charge.

His hospital would still be at work

he would be treating children for all

the things children need to be treated for

when the world doesn't want them dead.

If the world was just, his son

his coworkers

would be alive

Dr Safiya would be among friends

with the sun on his face

not dying in an Israeli prison bed.
