GAZA A Story of Love and War is on cinema release from August 14 2024 [Certificate 12A]
Two journalists meet to share stories over a Zoom link. One is Welsh and unable to get into Gaza. The other is Palestinian and unable to get out. As they talk, a very personal history of the Palestinian Nakba is narrated, from the expulsions of 1948 to the killing streets and tent cities of 2024.
A generation ago the journalists’ mothers escaped two different catastrophes – the Holocaust in 1939-45 and the violent expulsion of Palestinians in 1948. We hear remarkable connections in the stories. Then their talk reaches a most unexpected question: Is coexistence possible?
Out of the ashes of war and genocide, this meeting becomes an exchange of impossible hopes.
