Abed al-Salam Shehada 1999 docu 39 min.

Gaza documentary filmmaker Shehadeh's latest work takes as its starting
point his own difficulty in coming to terms with his role as a news
cameraman during the Intifada. Constantly facing experiences of horrific
suffering and loss and yet struggling to find a sense of meaning or purpose
on his side of the lens, he sets out to revisit friends, relatives, and,
most painfully, those whose unfathomable personal losses he has documented
from behind the camera. The film offers a rare glimpse of life after the
cameras stop rolling, of the processes of healing and hurting that continue
on both sides of the lens and as such it is a profound and moving study of
the role of the news reporter.
