American Doctor is a Poh Si Teng-directed documentary about three American doctors, one Palestinian, one Jewish, and one Zoroastrian.

All three (Thaer Ahmad, Mark Perlmutter and Feroze Sidhwa) enter Gaza to save lives and end up caught between medicine and politics.

My appreciation for and curiosity about those who put themselves in harm’s way to help others is one reason I’m drawn to this one.

What a well-chosen title this documentary has. It’s almost as if they consulted with the makers of Colliding Dreams (2015) to ensure this film was perfectly titled.

American Doctor Release Dates: August 14th, 2026 (Limited), (US); November 20th, 2026 (UK)

Happy Film Loving,
