Israel and Gaza: Into the Abyss

A teacher in Gaza films her students reciting poetry weeks before the bombs fall. A fisherman records his last catch from a sea now patrolled by warships. Their personal archives — birthday parties, family dinners, sunsets over the Mediterranean — become haunting preludes to the ruins that follow October 7. Parallel to this, Israeli families document the morning militants stormed their homes, the frantic texts to missing loved ones, the year of funerals and empty chairs. This documentary weaves these raw, unseen fragments into a tapestry of parallel devastations, where grief speaks the same language on both sides of the border.
