Photographed by several Palestinian cameramen both during and after the offensive, this powerful film by director Vibeke Løkkeberg focuses on the impact of the attacks on the civilian population. TEARS of GAZA makes no overriding speeches or analyses. The situation leading up to the incursion is never mentioned. Similar events certainly occurred in Dresden, Tokyo, Baghdad & Sarajevo, but of course Gaza isnt those places. TEARS of GAZA demands that we examine the costs of war on a civilian populace. (Excerpt from Steve Gravestock, 2011 Toronto International Film Festival) TEARS of GAZA is in theaters now in Los Angeles. The documentary documents the bombing of Gaza in 2008 2009 by the Israeli military. Norwegian director, Vibeke Løkkeberg, documents the costs of war on a civilian populace. As Variety Magazine reported from the Toronto International Film Festival, Few antiwar films register with the disturbing immediacy and visceral terror of Tears of Gaza. Almost purely observational, Tears doesn't take sides as much as obliterate politics. Palestinian cameramen inside Gaza provided the footage that is never shown by Western media. The film does not go into the events or politics that caused the conflict. Instead the focus is on the impact of the action against the citizens of Gaza. This is an important film that needs to be seen by as many people as possible. We hope that you will see the film and inform as many people about the documentary.
