Hosted by Healthcare Workers for Palestine QLD and Australian Healthcare Alliance for Palestine (AHAP), ‘Life Support’ is a full-length documentary that captures the unique eye-witness testimonies of international doctors who have been to Gaza over the last two years.Given the ban on international media, the doctors become the eyes and ears of the world. Led by Dr Nick Maynard, Dr Victoria Rose and Dr Tanya Haj Hassan, the film is structured around their visceral, first-hand footage from inside hospitals. As the doctors' videos chronicle their experience working in extreme conditions, footage shot for our film by local cameramen gives us access to everyday life in Gaza beyond the headlines.
This screening will be followed by a Q&A moderated by Dr Aidy Conner, a Fellow of the Australian Colleague of Rural and Remote Medicine (FACRRM) working as a Rural Generalist and PCRF Australia Board Member. Of Palestinian and British heritage, his grandparents were dispossessed and displaced in the 1948 Nakba. Dr Aidy will host the Q&A conversation featuring special guests.
