Save a Child's Heart in Israel is the focus of 'A Heartbeat Away', which is the story of Save a Child's Heart pediatric cardiologist, Dr. Akiva Tamir, who is sent to Africa on a medical screening mission to find children in need of life-saving heart surgeries - surgery that is not accessible in Tanzania, where every day five children die from heart disorders and rheumatic heart disease.

In the documentary, Dr. Tamir and his team examine hundreds of children, finding those who can receive the treatment which will save their lives. When six year-old Julius arrives to the clinic in critical condition, Dr. Tamir is forced to choose whether to operate on the child, who has very little chance of surviving. Dr. Tamir and his team take the viewers on an emotional roller coaster as they deal with the most serious question of who to treat. The experienced physicians find it hard to detach from the emotional bond they share with their small patients.
