"GAZA has real value as a compassionate human document, in showing ordinary people who courageously have to keep going somehow, in the grimmest of conditions, in a world where, as someone puts it, there is a wall between the people of Gaza and life itself."
The Guardian

Gaza takes us to a unique place beyond the reach of television news reports to reveal a world rich with eloquent and resilient characters, offering us a cinematic and enriching portrait of a people attempting to lead meaningful lives against the rubble of perennial conflict. Their Gaza is a place where smiles, joy and even brief moments of hope are woven with threads of despair, frustration and fatigue, where life moves in cycles, with the weight of the past bearing down on any hope for the future.
There are few places in the world that evoke such a strong visceral response as Gaza. It is somewhere that seems immediately familiar, known throughout the world from news flashes beamed onto our TV screens. Yet in truth we know almost nothing about this tiny strip of land, with 2 million inhabitants, on the shores of the Mediterranean.
This is Gaza as you have never seen it before. Far from being a place of misery,
it is a land of smiles, joy and even brief moments of hope. Frequently labeled as the world’s largest open-air prison, Gaza, has been reduced to an image of violence, chaos and destruction by media outlets. The harsh realities are not overlooked, but the film immerses the audience into battered neighborhoods and landscapes and introduces us to a diverse group of eloquent residents all striving to lead meaningful lives under siege—a taxi driver, an aspiring fisher, a young cellist, a rapper, to name a few, share unfamiliar stories, to most, and provide a nuanced understanding of what life is like for Palestinians in Gaza.
