Precious Life
This richly topical, award-winning feature documentary follows the heartfelt struggle of a Palestinian mother to secure lifesaving treatment for her baby in a complex and war-torn country. Born without an immune system to Palestinian parents, Muhammad Abu Mustaffa is in need of an emergency bone marrow transplant that can only be performed with the technical expertise found in an Israeli hospital. With a benevolent donation and an Israeli paediatrician on the case, mother and doctor must face their most profound biases in order to save Muhammad's life.
