Gaza Sderot: Life in Spite of Everything - Two towns, one border, shared humanity
As divisions deepen and headlines polarize, this gripping documentary offers a rare and necessary window into two communities living side by side but worlds apart.
Based on a widely acclaimed web series that documented daily life in Gaza City and Sderot in the weeks leading up to the 2008 Gaza War, the film expands upon the original project to introduce us to the people behind the screens—their hopes, frustrations, families, and dreams. At a time when dialogue feels impossible, this film reminds us that humanity persists, even in the shadow of conflict.
