Gaza Ghetto: Portrait of a Palestinian Family Trailers

In the first documentary feature film made in Gaza, Gaza Ghetto highlights the historical precedents of war, dispossession and military control that influence a family's daily life in Jabalia Palestinian refugee camp. Intimate scenes --a child is born, a grandmother dies -- are inter-cut with visits to the architects of the Israeli military occupation. Ariel Sharon, Benyamin Beneliezar and soldiers on patrol candidly discuss their responsibilities.

Reviews
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
