Killing Gaza

by Max Blumenthal and Dan Cohen, documentary 97 min. USA 2018

Israel’s 2014 assault on Gaza, a 51-day siege that reduced a heavily populated region to  rubble, is seen from the perspective of residents who survived the ordeal, making this documentary a searing piece of living testimony.  Missiles and artillery pound Gaza City as far as the eye can see in the film’s opening sequences, in which blocks of low-rise homes, high-rise towers, and commercial properties are blown up with a relentlessness that becomes surreal in its pounding repetition.  Over a period of months, filmmakers Blumenthal and Cohen return to the area to chart the progress of residents coming to grips with the devastation.  Stories range from the shocked account of a man who returned to his decimated home to find six bound and gagged corpses in his shattered bathroom, to the defiant father of a murdered son, who declares. “Even if the rocks are all that’s left, we won’t surrender.”  In English.
