The Real Cost of War: US Doctors Share Their Lived Experience in Gaza Hospitals

“To save one life is as if you have saved all of humanity."

In this powerful closing panel from the Muslim House at Sundance 2026, the creative team and featured physicians of the acclaimed documentary "American Doctor" gather to share their harrowing experiences working in Gaza’s decimated healthcare system. This conversation moves beyond statistics to explore the moral compunction that drove a diverse group of Jews, Muslims, and agnostics to risk their lives in one of the most dangerous conflict zones on Earth.

They discuss the staggering disparity between medical missions in other war zones versus Gaza, the weaponization of aid, and the "moral cowardice" of major medical associations in the face of documented atrocities.
