Emotionally devastating
documentary explores
Israeli bombing of Gaza
Friday Film Pick: Tears of Gaza
Dozens of Palestinians have been killed or wounded in Israel’s latest bombing campaign of Gaza, while the Israeli military stubbornly insists the child-killing attacks are necessary to stop “terrorism”.
Such bloody assaults on Gaza are unfortunately common, and those that took place over 2008-2009 may have been the most devastating. Documentary film Tears of Gaza, by director Vibeke Løkkeberg, explores this military campaign with minimal gloss, resulting in a visual document that is both disturbing and devastating.
The full film can now be watched in its entirety on YouTube, and despite the “for promotional use only” watermark, the link has been shared by the filmmakers themselves on Twitter.
