Sepideh Farsi attempts to enter Gaza to make a documentary, but is denied access due to the Israeli blockade. Instead, the film takes shape through video calls with young Palestinian photojournalist Fatima Hassouna. From Gaza, Fatima describes her brutal everyday reality, while Farsi listens helplessly from afar. Despite inhumane living conditions and constant fear, Fatima clings to an unbreakable optimism.
Read moreThe film is told with striking restraint, relying almost entirely on the video conversations. Choppy audio and frozen images caused by poor internet connections vividly illustrate the vast distance between the two women’s realities.
At a time when journalists are barred from Gaza and everyday life in conflict zones rarely reaches the news, this film offers invaluable insight into life under war. Over nearly a year of conversations, violence continues, innocent lives are lost, homes are destroyed – and one voice remains as testimony amid the devastation.
