Gaza Is Our Home: Documentary by Monear Shaer

What began as an auto-generated slideshow on Monear's iPhone of his own trip to see his family in 2021, has since transformed into a feature-length documentary. Through a tapestry of intimate interviews, unfiltered personal footage, and raw storytelling, "Gaza Is Our Home" transcends political rhetoric and confronts audiences with the agonizing reality and ongoing cruelty thrust upon the film-makers own family. It is more than just a documentary... Rather, Gaza Is Our Home stands as a testament to the humanity behind the over 33,362 innocent lives massacred since Oct 2023... As the crisis in Gaza reaches unbearable levels, the film emerges as an unflinching portrayal of the human cost of conflict, laying bare the raw emotions, shattered dreams, and incomprehensible strength of those trapped within its suffocating embrace. Viewers witness the brilliant smiles and faces of innocence, abruptly contrasted with horrific losses, and stories untold. From childhood recollections to the present-day struggles of his family, the documentary navigates the tumultuous currents of Gaza's ongoing tragedy with an unyielding commitment to truth. Each frame representing a defiant declaration of the right to exist, to be seen, and to be heard in a world that has long ignored their cries. —Monear Shaer
