Poh Si Teng | USA | 2026 | 91m
English & Arabic with English subtitles

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.

"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
