Overview

Part of the 

strand.

Acting as a vivid and disturbing video testimony to life under the bombs in Gaza, this powerfully raw and affecting film proves testament to the resilience and bravery of Palestinian photojournalist Fatma Hassona who was killed in an Israeli airstrike just days after the film’s completion. The bond she formed over video calls with director Sepideh Farsi over months, as well as her striking photographic documentation of the horrors she witnessed, form the structure of this uncompromising and vital film.
