PeA Holmquist, Joan Mandell, Pierre Bjorklund (Directors)
Even as the political status of Gaza and the West Bank evolve, the uncertainties and harshness of land confiscations and military occupation remain key. Produced in 1984, GAZA GHETTO explores the very issues that caused the intifada and continue at the heart of the conflict.
Moments of tragedy and joy--a grandmother dies, a child is born--are intercut with scenes in which Israeli politicians, soldiers and settlers discuss responsibility for military occupation. Preparing for school, visiting neighbors, on a family outing, Abu El-Adel's grandchildren are always listening intently to their heritage, anticipating their future from their past.

Reviews

"Gaza Ghetto should help further the cause of peace in the Middle East by underlining the need for a bold solution to the refugee situation in Gaza Strip and the West Bank." - Stephen Riff, International Jewish Peace Union.
