A year ago, as tensions escalated in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, a joint production team comprising film crews from Gaza, the West Bank, and Israel set out to capture the human stories behind the headlines. Over several months, they produced three poignant documentaries that delve into the lives of individuals affected by the ongoing strife.
Traveling across key regions—from Gaza City to Jerusalem, Khan Younis to the Golan Heights—the team encountered a diverse group of people whose lives have been irrevocably altered. Among them was an Israeli military veteran turned ardent anti-war activist; doctors tirelessly working to save newborns amidst chaos; grieving parents coping with unimaginable loss; and former hostages alongside families awaiting the return of loved ones still in captivity.
The culmination of their efforts is encapsulated in a powerful 366-second short video. Through compelling images and heartfelt narratives, the film sheds light on stories of life and death, separation, and hope. In its final moments, the documentary conveys a fervent wish that, after a year marked by turmoil, peace may finally be on the horizon.
