General information
"We Are All Gaza" is a feature-length documentary born from an urgent need: to face head-on what is happening in Gaza, to give a face and voice to those who are suffering, and to preserve forever the memory of the victims of a genocide taking place in real time, before the eyes of the world.
This project is the natural continuation of Born in Gaza (2014), a documentary that portrayed with dignity and sensitivity the impact of the Israeli offensive on the civilian population, especially children. Those ten protagonists—Mohamed, Malak, Bisan…—became symbols of humanity resisting even in the midst of horror. Today, a decade later, We Are All Gaza resumes that search in an even more devastating context, with over 35,000 dead, the majority of them civilians.
But this is not just a film about Gaza. It is a mirror that reflects who we are as a society. How do we respond to the pain of others? What do we do when victims are treated as if they were guilty? Where are empathy, justice, and memory?
Far from sensationalism and graphic violence, the documentary relies on silence, pause, and attentive listening. We observe the faces of survivors. We enter their homes, their tents, the few remaining intimate spaces—with respect. We use fixed shots, a 24mm lens, and real sound textures. There is no music to dictate emotions, no artifice. Only reality.
We Are All Gaza also documents something unprecedented and terrifying: the use of artificial intelligence to select human targets, and the constant psychological warfare endured by Gaza’s population. It is a denunciation. But it is also a tribute: to the dignity of those who resist, to the journalists who risk their lives to tell the truth, and to the viewers around the world who refused to look away.
This documentary is made by and for them. By and for all of us. Because, as the title says: We Are All Gaza.
Main features and goals of the crowdfunding campaign
This feature-length documentary aims to preserve the memory of Gaza’s civilian victims through a deeply human lens. Without resorting to graphic imagery or political debates, it seeks to create a space for collective reflection, to tell the personal stories behind the numbers, and to denounce the use of technologies, such as artificial intelligence, for selecting human targets.
The documentary is structured around three main narrative threads:
- The life journeys of the protagonists from Born in Gaza.
- The physical and psychological devastation of the territory and its people.
- The role of art as a tool for resistance and remembrance."Born in Gaza 2" is an independent and deeply committed documentary that seeks to create a historical record of the situation in Palestine, revisiting the lives of the children featured in the first film.
Shot under extreme conditions: censorship, threats, and total blockade, the film aims to expose the hidden reality of the conflict, denounce human rights violations, and raise global awareness.
Through public participation, it becomes a tool of resistance and collective memory.
Why this is important
"We Are All Gaza" was born from the drive of thousands of people around the world who, after watching Born in Gaza again, asked what had happened to its protagonists. It is also a response to the silence of governments, media outlets, and major institutions in the face of the suffering of the Palestinian people.
This film is aimed at a global audience that seeks to understand, to take action, and to refuse to look away. It is for those who believe in the power of cinema as collective memory, as a political tool, and as an act of humanity. And especially, for those who feel that Gaza is not as far away as they want us to believe.
