GAZA IS OUR HOME (Monear Shaer, 2024, 66 mins)
With over 150 of his family members trapped in the Gaza Strip, and the agonizing losses of over 33 loved ones, Monear immediately set on a mission to share their stories with the world. Amidst the ongoing genocide of his family, and with no prior experience, Monear urgently began production of a painfully personal and deeply intimate documentary, that shares a raw and unfiltered look into the lives of those that call Gaza home. What began as a simple slideshow highlighting the beauty of the people of Gaza, primarily through footage and photos of his own trip to see his family in 2021โhe's since transformed into a feature-length documentary.
