Gaza Strip - ANSWER Film Series

"Gaza Strip" pushes the viewer headlong into the tumult of the
Israeli-occupied Gaza, examining the lives and views of ordinary
Palestinians. The central character is Mohammed Hejazi, a 13-year-old
paperboy in Gaza City, one of the young "stone-throwers" who risk
their lives throwing rocks at Israeli tanks across the barbwire
fences. As the camera floats through the Gaza Strip, we encounter
signs of the occupation everywhere: crowds of Palestinians are making
their way along the beach on foot, donkey carts and tractor trailers
when the Israeli soldiers close the roads. The Palestinians
interviewed as they pass by reveal a common internal conflict,
between anger at the Israeli occupation and the desire to live in peace.
