As NAZA draws global attention to the Gaza genocide from the perspective of Israeli génocidaires, a lesser-known Palestinian documentary looks through the camera of a Palestinian journalist trying to document devastation while keeping his family safe.
The documentary film by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor follows the predictable script of the regretful soldier, but the subjects in NAZA express something darker: mourning the loss of power.
Annemarie Jacir’s ‘Palestine 36’ gets a lot right in telling the story of the 1936 Palestinian revolution against the British. But a better accounting of the class dynamics in the uprising could have helped explain why it was crushed.
The new documentary “Gaza: Journalists Under Fire” honors the remarkable bravery and work of Palestinian journalists reporting on the Gaza genocide, including those who have been killed by Israel simply for sharing the truth.
