GAZA GHETTO, the first documentary film made in Gaza, highlights the historical precedents that fuel the current cycles of violence and continue at the heart of the Israel-Palestine 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. Gaza Ghetto shows how the roots of the Palestine-Israel conflict influence today's harsh realities and dreams of peace, justice and stability. 16mm print courtesy of Sebastian Di Trolio.

Introduction by Pam Sporn and post-screeening Zoom discussion with Joan Mandell and Nasri Zacharia !

New Day Films was founded in 1971 by four feminist filmmakers frustrated by mainstream distribution channels. Our cooperative has now grown to over 400 titles and 150 filmmaker members..We function as a participatory democracy with an organizational structure and business practices that embody the values promoted by our films. Members today curate our collection to encompass a wide range of subject areas – and sustain the ideals that inspired the cooperative’s formation in 1971: egalitarian partnership, great stories, and ideas that spark positive change.
