 FIRSTSHOWING.net (by Alex Billington, July 15, 2026):\n\nQUOTE: "American 
 Doctor follows three American physicians - Palestinian, Jewish, and 
 Zoroastrian - united by a single oath to save lives. After volunteering in 
 besieged hospitals in Gaza, they return home determined to fight for the 
 patients and colleagues they left behind. Dr. Thaer Ahmad is measured and 
 strategic, Dr. Mark Perlmutter is blunt and wears his heart on his sleeve, 
 and Dr. Feroze Sidhwa is media-savvy and prolific. Filmed in unfolding, 
 on-the-ground scenes, the story follows the three of them from a Gazan 
 hospital under siege, to the halls of Congress to continue the struggle 
 where it matters most: the United States. American Doctor is directed by 
 doc producer / filmmaker Poh Si Teng, directing her first feature film 
 after producing many other docs including St. Louis Superman previously. 
 Produced by Poh Si Teng, Kirstine Barfod, and Reem Haddad. This initially 
 premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, and it also 
 played at True/False, SXSW, and CPH:DOX. Watermelon Pictures debuts 
 American Doctor doc in select US + Canadian theaters starting August 14th, 
 2026 coming up this summer."\n\nFor the full page & complete article, go to
