Jerusalem ER

Hilla MEDALIA 2012 Israel Documentary color 17min Hebrew, Arabic DigiBeta
Hadasa Mount Scopus Hospital is located in the ethnically charged buffer zone between the Palestinian and Israeli communities. Our story is seen through the eyes of senior Dr. Stalnikowicz, a Jewish immigrant from Chile, and young Dr. Salameh, a Palestinian Israeli from the north—and from the perspectives of the ER patients whose stories reflect the world outside the hospital doors. Under the peaceful surface of hospital system, the hidden racial violence still exists. The film exposes an irrepressible dedication to providing equal heath care to Israelis.
