The Doctor's Wife

When you’re a heart surgeon, that’s what you do… If you are his wife, you tag along and find something useful to do.

While retired New Zealand cardiac surgeon Dr Kerr is celebrated as the 'Father of Paediatric Cardiac Surgery' in Palestine, the film reveals that his remarkable achievements were made possible by the quiet but vital support of his wife, Hazel Kerr. Travelling alongside him, Hazel brought a different kind of healing, offering compassion and care to the people she met in Palestine.
