This beautifully rendered account of day-to-day life in Gaza focuses on the lived reality in the besieged area, rather than exploring the politics or ideology of the ongoing conflict. Compassionately directed and exquisitely shot, the film achieves remarkably intimate access to its subjects. Made with deep humanity and empathy, the film never wavers from depicting the violence that punctuates the lives of those who live there even as it documents the richness of the culture that exists amidst the violence. Gaza is a vitally important film, both because of and despite its high production value.
