A short film chronicling the impact of incarceration on families in Gaza. With over 11,000 Gazas held in Israeli prisons, it is difficult to find a family who has not been affected. For over three years, no family visits have been allowed, and communication is difficult, often impossible. Shot in June 2009.

After 3 years under siege and a recent Israeli-led offensive, Gaza continues to suffer. No materials for rebuilding are allowed in, and education and industry continue to be stifled. Shot in June 2009, this short film gives a glimpse into the harsh realities of everyday Gaza under siege.

An article (and sound) by Matt Olsen from the reportback of the recent New Orleans Delegation to Gaza has been posted as the main news story on Indymedia.
