A short documentary film (15-mins) which shares the harrowing story of displacement during a genocidal war from the unique perspectives of three different generations of Palestinian artists. Entrapped in the thrashes of escaping constant bombardment, the artists seek shelter in Rafah and live to tell the tale. The short film reflects the plight of the human heart and intentionally omits scenes of physical brutality and violence which have tragically become too often correlated with storytelling on Gaza. The cameraman and producer symbolize the grim reality that every being in Gaza endures, sharing with the world the relentless spirit of the Palestinian struggle for freedom.

This investigation documents, through testimony and statements by male and female journalists in Gaza, the severe mental impact that covering the war has, given the absence of the necessary psychological support that should be provided to them by media institutions.
