A BBC documentary about medical volunteers and their patients at the Gaza Hospital in West Beirut in the aftermath of the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon and the siege and bombardment of West Beirut, home to the PLO and the Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Chatila. The filming took place in the days immediately before the infamous Sabra-Chatila massacre, carried out by Lebanese Phalangist troops inside an area under Israeli military control.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
