In the first documentary film made in Gaza, Gaza Ghetto highlights the historical precedents that fuel the current cycles of violence at the heart of the Israeli occupation conflict. Intimate scenes of family life (a child born, a grandmother dies) in Jabalia, the largest Palestinian refugee camp, are intercut with visits to the architects of the Israeli military occupation. Ariel Sharon, Benyamin Beneliezar and soldiers on patrol candidly discuss their responsibilities. Spend 82 minutes with the Abu el-Adel family to gain a glimpse into the recurrent historical nature of the aggression and multifaceted manifestations of the siege that paved the way to today's events.

"Of tremendous importance in understanding and appreciating the complexity of a cultural tragedy," Mary Beth Crain, LA Weekly
