Featuring Ayman Mohyeldin, Sherine Tadros
In the winter of 2008, the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was shattered as the first Israeli bomb dropped on Gaza in Operation Cast Lead. Ayman Mohyeldin and fellow Al Jazeera journalist and friend Sherine Tadros found themselves the only Western reporters there to capture it. This riveting and introspective film chronicles the bonds of friendships under stress, the ethics of journalism in conflict and above all, the resilience of humans during war. With never-before-seen footage and testimonies reported from one of the most besieged places on earth, the film bears witness to how Gaza changed these two journalists forever.
