Synopsis: Orphaned and displaced from their home in Gaza City, two brothers must find their way to a "safe zone" to survive. Forced to grow up much too fast, the boys confront pain and loss on their tragic path along the shoreline. Sing to the Wind is a short, 2D animated film that tells the story of perseverance through the eyes of a child, and the resilience of a people in the face of ceaseless brutality.
