Born in Gaza - 2014 Documentary

     Filmed during the 2014 siege of Gaza, which left 507 children dead and 3,598 wounded, 'Born in Gaza' follows a group of young children growing up in a war zone. The awarded director HernĂ¡n Zin shows a deep and intimate vision about how violence twists these children's lives, putting aside any political debate or last-minute event. A deeply human vision of the war and its consequences with an original aesthetic look. Slow motion and time-lapse, as well as drone and underwater shooting, make cinematography one of the essentials of Born In Gaza. A war was barely ever shot so beautifully and disturbing at the same time. BORN IN GAZA comes to an end three months after the Israeli offensive, with us returning to check up on these children dealing with the terror and trying to have their lives back to normal. They speak up for the 538 dead children and over 3,500 wounded left by the so called 'Operation Protective Edge' Israeli offensive. Movie is 1 hr and 9 min.
