Description:
In January of 2001, American director James Longley traveled to the Gaza Strip. His plan was to stay for two weeks to collect preliminary material for a documentary film on the Palestinian Intifada. It was during his stay that Ariel Sharon was elected as Israeli Prime Minister. As violence erupted around him, Longley threw away his return ticket and filmed for the next three months, acquiring nearly 75 hours of footage. Gaza Strip, his first feature documentary, is an extraordinary and painful journey into the lives of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip struggling with the day-to-day trials of the Israeli occupation. Filmed in verité style and without narration, Gaza Strip at last gives voice to a population largely ignored by mainstream media.

Already a little dated, this documentary still packs a wallop. American filmmaker James Longley went to Gaza in early 2001, unwittingly catching a kind of time-capsule picture of this part of the Muslim world just before 9/11 and the war in Iraq. Released in 2002, it is a mostly cinema-verite portrayal of a population under siege. Though we never see the Israeli defense forces that were at the time engaged in protecting the (illegal) Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip, we hear their gunfire, witness ... Read More

This documentary hits the viewer like a sledgehammer to the side of the face. Its a very personal depiction of life under occupation and sets a case for the day to day struggles of the 'occupied' in the Gaza strip. The story line follows a couple of young local children and takes in their points of view.. and there is most certainly a grim portrayal of life and paints a very grim future for them. Furthermore, the documentary brings to light a range of very very serious allegations against the Israeli 'occupiers' ... Read More

I thought this film was very interesting from the view point of the Gazan children. This is rarely seen in the news - on both sides - so this is a great opportunity to get new information. I know some other reviewers say it is unbalanced, but I sense from their tone that the balancing they'd want would require a slew of documentary films.
At the least, however, the filmmakers could have approached the Israelis for an explanation on these events in the movie: 1) why the checkpoint was closed and Gazans ... Read More

Beautifull documentary about the results of occupation.
Also see Longley's latest film 'Iraq in fragments'!!!

I watched this last night... and even as I write this I sit less than ten miles from the Gaza Strip. I have no doubt that the death and destruction portrayed in the film took place. However, the microcosm of the Strip, as seen in this DVD, needs some explaination.
The events in this film took place in 2000, following Sharon's defeat of Barak. Why was Barak defeated in the Israeli elections? Because Yassir Arafat consistently and deliberately failed to meet any of the obligations he incurred in the agreement ... Read More
