Death In Gaza

Death In Gaza is the tale of a twisted world where the greatest glory is to die a martyr, and of the filmmaker who becomes part of the story he sets out to tell. This poignant and powerful documentary takes a shocking, first-hand look at the culture of hate that permeates the West Bank and Gaza, and which continues to escalate the perennial violence pitting Palestinians against Israelis.

Starting out in the city of Nablus (where as many as 80 percent of suicide bombing plots are planned), Emmy-winning filmmaker James Miller follows reporter Saira Shah as she attempts to unravel the cycle of violence. Traveling to Gaza they meet three Palestinian children - two 12-year-old boys and a 16-year-old girl - who have grown up trapped between the Israeli army and Palestinian militants as their world crumbles around them.

The film ends on a day like many other days in this region - with death - except that on this day, the fallen victim is renowned filmmaker James Miller, who is shot dead by an Israeli soldier in the Gaza Strip.
