The heart surgeon, his wife and the film maker: Paula Whetu Jones - RNZ interview - 9 May 2025

Auckland film maker Paula Whetu Jones has spent nearly two decades working pro bono on a feature film about the Auckland cardiac surgeon Alan Kerr, which is finally now in cinemas, community centres, cafes, halls, museums…anywhere people want to watch it.

What started as a two week visit became a 20 year commitment , involving 40 medical missions to Gaza and the West Bank and hundreds of operations.

Paula Whetu Jones self funded six trips to document the work and the result is the feature film The Doctor's Wife, now being screened by communities, for communities, free, all around the country.
