Eleven Days in May
In May 2021, demonstrations in Jerusalem were followed by rocket fire from Gaza. Israel responded with an eleven-day bombardment of Gaza that killed nearly 200 people; more than 60 of them were children. Palestinian director Mohammed Sawwaf visited their bereaved families to put a face to the victims. Co-director Michael Winterbottom wanted to show what it’s like to be bombarded in Gaza (or Syria, Yemen, or Ukraine) in the hope “that it doesn’t happen again.”
