Synopsis

Born without an immune system, four-month-old Palestinian boy Mohammed needs a bone marrow transplant to survive, but the procedure can only be carried out in an Israeli hospital. With the help of a prominent journalist and an Israeli paediatrician, the child’s mother must fight to save his life.

MUBI's take

At once provocative and deeply empathetic, this searing documentary incisively interrogates regional politics during Israel’s 2008 blockade of Gaza. Centred on the immune therapy of a Palestinian infant, Precious Life allegorises its hospital setting as a stage from which peace might one day emerge.
