The War Around Us

Abdallah Omeish 2012 | Documentary | 75 min

The War Around Us is the true story of the only two international
journalists on the ground in Gaza as Israel bombarded and invaded in 2008-9
in 'Operation Cast Lead.' Al Jazeera's Cairo-born, Arab-American Ayman
Mohyeldin and Arab-British Sherine Tadros reported from Gaza City
throughout the 22-day assault.

This riveting and introspective award-winning film chronicles the bonds of
friendships under stress, the ethics of journalism in conflict, and
people's resilience during war. It also provides a window into
understanding the catastrophic experience that Palestinians in Gaza have
just lived through again during the far more devastating 'Operation
Protective Edge' in the summer of 2014.
Both journalists were back on the ground again in Gaza this past summer,
reporting on the next round of war.
