In the darkest days of the ongoing Palestinian genocide, acclaimed British-Iraqi nerve surgeon Dr. Mohammed Tahir embarks on his third humanitarian mission to Gaza.
Amid waves of relentless danger and casualties flooding overwhelmed hospitals, Dr Mohammed Tahir fights tirelessly alongside his colleagues to save innocent lives. Filmed by two members of his medical team, The Mission captures the raw, brutal reality of Gaza's operating rooms in real time, navigating collapsing infrastructure, moral burnout, and profound emotional cost. This urgent and unflinching documentary stands as a historic testament to human compassion amid profound catastrophe.
This session will be followed by a screen talk with Dr Mohammed Tahir and Mike Lerner, chaired by Myriam Francois.
This film contains real footage and descriptions of injuries, medical trauma, civilian casualties and humanitarian crises in Gaza. The imagery and mature themes of this film may be difficult for some audience members.
