Gaza Ghetto: Portrait of a Palestinian Family (1985)

3.1
(11)

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.

Directors: Pierre Björklund, Per-Åke Holmquist, Joan Mandell.
Stars: Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, Yitzhak Rabin, Reuven Rozenblat, Ariel Sharon.

    Thank you, so pleased with the Palestinian material you’ve been making available.

    I know you’re pressed for resources to offer new stuff, but wanted to mention a fantastically rare pair of movies that I saw 20+ years ago as a double bill at a film festival. Ever since I’ve been searching for them, to no avail – not a sniff.

    WEDDING IN RAMALLAH has unbelievable scenes of ordinary life going on amidst random bombings, arrests, etc. Speechless-making. LONG NIGHT’S JOURNEY INTO DAY depicts Bishop Tutu on the Reconcilliation tribunal tour post-aparteid. Again, insane scenes – but here, of healing after crisis. For 20 yrs I’ve been describing the effect these films had on me – but they cannot be found.

    Perhaps you’d know where to look. I feel very troubled by the idea that stark truth-telling and really important ideas can be so completely buried. I know you and your supporters would appreciate them, and they’d go well with what you’ve already been offering.

    Thanks for listening.
