About this Event
University of Leicester Palestine Society and Islamic Help invite you to the powerful screening of Life Support - a searing documentary with harsh realities told by people whose job is simply to care and preserve human life.
Since October 2023, Gaza has been sealed off from the world, except for one group: international doctors. While global media are barred from reporting and governments look away, doctors breach the blockade, and what they find is not just a humanitarian crisis, but a calculated dismantling of life itself. Covering the entire two years of the genocide, their firsthand accounts and visceral footage offer a rare and vital chronicle of the daily struggles of healthcare workers as they navigate bombed-out hospitals, dwindling supplies, starvation and the overwhelming influx of casualties— predominantly women and children.
This event is suitable for ages 15+ and open to both brothers and sisters. Bring your family and friends for a powerful evening of firsthand experiences and reflection, as we take a glimpse into life in Gaza.
