Joan Mandell, PeÅ Holmquist, Pierre Bjorklund, 1984, 82 min. 16mm
GAZA GHETTO, the first documentary film made in Gaza, highlights the historical precedents that fuel the current cycles of violence and continue at the heart of the Israel-Palestine conflict. Intimate scenes of family life (a child born, a grandmother dies) in Jabalia, the largest Palestinian refugee camp, are intercut with visits to the architects of the Israeli military occupation. Ariel Sharon, Benyamin Beneliezar and soldiers on patrol candidly discuss their responsibilities. GAZA GHETTO shows how the roots of the Palestine-Israel conflict influence today's harsh realities and dreams of peace, justice and stability. 16mm print courtesy of Sebastian Di Trolio.
