Videos: "Sleepless in Gaza...and Jerusalem"
SleeplessinGaza
March 10, 2010 "Sleepless in Gaza...and Jerusalem" is a video diary about four young Palestinian women, Muslim and Christian, two living in Gaza and two in Arab Jerusalem/West Bank. PINA TV Production camera crews are covering Ashira Ramadan, a broadcast journalist based in Jerusalem; Ashiras friend in Gaza, the documentary film maker Nagham Mohanna; Dona Maria Mattas, a 17 year-old student at the Holy Family School in Gaza who dreams of growing up to be a journalist and Ala Khayo Mkari who works with Caritas in Jerusalem. The intention of this series is neither rant nor rhetoric. It is rather an opportunity for all of us, who do not live in Gaza, occupied Arab Jerusalem and the rest of the West Bank to grasp how these four Palestinian women live out their daily lives, precisely because their lives are stories that journalists are too often told by their editors to think of almost dismissively as human interest and almost necessarily conflict driven. "Sleepless is Gaza...and Jerusalem" documents how --as human beings -- these four Palestinians can also experience moments of personal and community achievement, and the warmth of friends and family life that in real life is possible even in the most difficult circumstances of siege and occupation. The series launched on Monday March lst. This is not a scripted or storyboarded documentary. It's a video diary shot in two different locations of stuff happening in the lives of our four Palestinians as it happens and then along with potential restrictions of movement, screened, subtitled in English when there is dialogue in Arabic, edited and somewhat painfully, as in time consumed, uploaded to You Tube. So we cannot really predict when the day's report will be on your screen.
