A unique opportunity to see this extraordinary film brought to you by Leeds Palestinian Film Festival and West Yorkshire Health Workers for Palestine.

After 43 horrific days working round the clock under constant bombardment in the emergency rooms of Gaza’s Al Shifa and Al Ahli hospitals, British-Palestinian reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Ghassan Abu Sittah, emerged to find himself as a face of Palestinian resistance. This was Ghassan’s sixth and most horrific Gaza “war”. Why does he do it? Where does he find the strength to face it again and again? How does it impact his family? The answer lies simply in their shared passion: Palestine.

Filmmakers Carol Mansour and Muna Khalidi, share that same passion. Following him to Beirut, Amman, London, Kuwait and Dubai, they capture his raw emotion on return from Gaza.

Following the film, there will be speakers offering their perspectives and experiences and a chance to ask questions.

This screening is part of Scalarama Leeds 2025 Film Festival, a DIY celebration of pop-up cinema and independent film exhibition.
