Life Support is a 2026 documentary directed by Daniele Rugo that follows international doctors entering Gaza during the ongoing war. The film focuses on what medical teams encounter inside a health system under extraordinary pressure, using first-hand experiences to examine the consequences of the conflict on patients and healthcare workers.
Rather than relying solely on outside commentary, the documentary centers medical professionals and Palestinian patients, creating an intimate portrait of a healthcare system struggling to function. The film presents the humanitarian crisis through the experiences of those working directly inside it.
