The Doctor’s Wife

The documentary "The Doctor's Wife" is a documentary film about a New Zealand cardiac surgeon who, after retiring, dedicates his time to helping children with heart disease in Palestine. The documentary chronicles Dr. Alan Kerr's journey to Gaza and the West Bank, initially for a two-week visit, which then evolved into a 20-year commitment. The film was made possible through fundraising, donations, and in-kind support.
