Join a community screening of a film about Dr Alan Kerr and his wife Hazel in Palestine. This will be followed by a Q&A session with filmmaker Paula Whetu Jones and Alan & Hazel Kerr.
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 mission became an enduring 20 year commitment to Palestine, involving 40 medical missions and hundreds of operations. 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.
