A sense of outrage compelled Oscar-nominated producer Poh Si Teng to make her directorial debut, the searing American Doctor , now screening at CPH:DOX in Copenhagen. “I was very angry and then came despair,” she explained in a talk at the CPH:Conference on Tuesday. “I didn’t know what to do with those emotions.” Her emotions sprang from the catastrophic loss of life in Gaza under Israeli bombardment, invasion and blockade after the October 7 Hamas terror attack on Israel. Tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians – men, women, and children – have been killed since October 2023. By one count cited by the UN , more than 250 journalists have been killed in Gaza in that period, some of them known to Teng from her time serving as a documentary commissioner for Al Jazeera English.
