After retiring from a distinguished career as a cardiac surgeon in New Zealand, Dr Alan Kerr led a Kiwi team to Gaza and the West Bank to operate on children with heart disease. What started as a two week visit became an enduring 20 year commitment to Palestine, involving 40 medical missions to Gaza and the West bank and hundreds of operations.
Dr Kerr recognised the need for, and was instrumental in the establishment of, an independent Palestinian cardiac unit. He trained the first Palestinian paediatric cardiac surgeon and has been recognised as the ‘Father of Paediatric Cardiac Surgery' in Palestine. However, he couldn't have achieved this on his own. His wife, Hazel Kerr, travelled with him - bringing a different kind of healing to the people she met in Palestine.
This film was made entirely by fundraising, donations and support in kind. Thank you to everyone who supported Whitiora Productions.
