Gaza to Oscar
24m
Overview
Amid war, siege, and destruction, Palestinian filmmaker Alaa Damo lives the very experience he documents through his lens: bombardment, displacement, and a daily struggle for survival. Alaa is one of the filmmakers trapped in Gaza whose films have managed to reach the world, even as they continue inside the Strip their daily search for shelter, a piece of bread, a sip of water, and a cinematic shot that carries their voice beyond the blockade.
