Voices from Gaza
Antonia Caccia 1989 docu 51 min.
Voices from Gaza was one of the earliest films made about the first
Palestinian intifada. It documents both the consequences of living under
Israeli occupation and the underground resistance that took form during the
intifada. Palestinian men, women, and children speak frankly about the
nature of Israel's occupation: the curfews, routine arrests, and constant
Israeli army patrols. But they also explain the work of the "popular
committees" working to provide alternative education, health care, and
welfare services, even under the most daunting of conditions.
