Overview
- The film, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, is being released in select U.S. theaters this week and brings front-line testimony from three American physicians who volunteered in Gaza.
- One scene shows what the filmmakers say was a 'double-tap' strike at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis where missiles hit first responders treating patients after an initial attack.
- The three doctors describe unprecedented suffering in Gaza hospitals and report they did not see tunnels beneath the facilities where they worked, a claim that conflicts with Israeli statements that some strikes targeted fighters in tunnels.
- Coverage cites Gaza casualty totals from the Hamas-run Health Ministry, figures the United Nations has described as reliable, and uses those figures to frame the scale of civilian harm shown in the film.
- Director Poh Si Teng says fundraising was difficult because donors feared backing a film showing damage attributed to U.S.-funded Israeli munitions, and the filmmakers hope the release will increase U.S. public and policy pressure for humanitarian relief.
