Gaza
Ghetto - Portrait of a Palestinian Family
PeA
Holmquist, Joan Mandell, Pierre Bjorklund
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.
Includes
footage of Ariel Sharon and Ben Eliazer
in the 1970's and 1980's, and exposes their
longstanding positions.
