Synopsis

Spoiler shield

An unflinching portrait of life in Gaza at the height of Israeli attacks. The filmmakers follow a British doctor of Palestinian origin who travels to volunteer in a local hospital. What emerges is an uncensored chronicle of war, the daily fight to sustain a collapsing medical system under relentless bombardment, and the immense emotional burden carried by victims and their families.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
