After 43 horrific days working under constant bombardment in Gaza’s hospitals, British‑Palestinian reconstructive surgeon Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah emerged to find himself as a face of Palestinian resistance.
With news footage of him pale and shell-shocked reverberating around the world, Dr Abu-Sittah spoke of a catalogue of horrors from lacerated bodies, to amputations without anesthetics, orphaned children with no surviving family, and the deliberate targeting of medics and hospital facilities.
Filmmakers Carol Mansour and Muna Khalidi trace his journey through Gaza, Amman, Beirut, London, Kuwait and Dubai. At home with his wife and sons, they probe the toll of repeated return to war—his inner conflicts, longing and the urgent drive for justice rooted in his identity and trauma.
Followed by a screen talk with Name and Name, chaired by Name.
This film contains graphic descriptions of medical trauma, civilian casualties and violence, including real accounts of psychological distress experienced by medics working under bombardment.
