About event
Directed by Carol Mansour, Muna Khalidi, 2024. 90 min, arabic/english + english sub
As international news agencies, world leaders and social media platforms continue to censor and distort the narrative while fueling the dehumanization of Palestinians and their ongoing suffering, we use our channels to support the forcibly canceled Palestinian Film Days festival.
2. November, the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, we are organizing more than 500 screenings of Palestinian films around the world. This global effort is an expression of solidarity with Palestine, an act of amplifying censored Palestinian voices and an effort to shift the distorted narrative.
About the film
British-Palestinian surgeon Dr. Ghassan Abu Sittah spent 43 days in the bombed Gaza and treated the wounded immediately. His work has become a symbol of resistance in the face of horrific injuries, attacks on hospitals and orphaned children. This film explores his sixth and most harrowing war in Gaza, his family's concerns and the shared concern for Palestine that drives his tireless humanitarian mission despite the danger.

A feature-length documentary film by Carol Mansour and Muna Khalidi. 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. With news footage of him pale and shell-shocked reverberating around the world, he spoke of a catalog of horrors from lacerated bodies, to
amputations without anesthetics, orphaned children with no surviving family, and the deliberate targeting of medics and hospital facilities. 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 affect his family? How do they process the risks he takes? The answer lies simply in their shared passion: Palestine, a passion they articulate through their support of his perilous humanitarian work. Filmmakers Carol Mansour and Muna Khalidi, close friends of the Abu
Sittahs, share that same passion. They were waiting anxiously for Ghassan to emerge from Gaza, following a long and terrifying journey
through the night, to meet him in Amman. Determined to capture his raw emotions, they began filming him the moment he arrived through the door. Following him to Beirut, Amman, London, Kuwait and Dubai, they and he explore their common State of Passion.
