Until the Sky Falls Quiet - Presented by Amnesty International Australia (Pennant Hills)

Join us for a special documentary screening event and Q&A.

Synopsis: This feature documentary focuses on two Australian doctors, Dr Siraj Sira and Dr Sanjay Adusumilli, who volunteered to go on a medical mission to Gaza.

Filmed in real time with most of the footage captured by the doctors themselves, Until the Sky Falls Quiet is a rare and personal record of resilience, loss, and the human cost of bearing witness in the world’s largest ‘open air prison’.

Nominated for a Change Award at the Adelaide Film Festival, 2025

Q&A guests: Dr Sanjay Adusumilli from the documentary and Khaled Shakhshir (Executive Producer and humanitarian aid worker who worked in Gaza in July 2024)

Proceeds (minus GST and costs) for this event will go to: Global Medical Foundation Australia (the charity that the doctors in the documentary went into Gaza with) and the documentary team to help the documentary's distribution, advocacy and impact campaign and cover costs such as additional translations and subtitling, venue hire, software subscription costs, tech support costs, digital marketing etc.
