Gaza Surf Club. Il documentario-verità sui giovani paletinesi di Gaza

Intrappolata nella “più grande prigione a cielo aperto del mondo” e sottoposta a una guerra quotidiana, all’apartheid e ai continui soprusi da parte israeliana, una nuova generazione che vive nella Striscia di Gaza ha come unico punto di ritrovo la spiaggia, il mare. Senza occupazione e senza uno sbocco futuro, i giovani palestinesi ritrovano una parvenza di libertà personale tra le onde del…

I highly recommend the documentary Gaza Surf Club directed by Philip Gnadt. It's a film about a group of surfers living and surfing in the Gaza Strip. It's told with a great deal of compassion and driven by a genuine interest in the people themselves. It also never tries to overextend itself or impose a larger meaning, it's just a humane portrait driven by genuine curiosity on the part of the director.

Winner of "Best Documentary" at AFF2017. A deep dive "on ground zero" spotlight on Gaza's surf community, which has experienced, survived, and overcome a multitude of obstacles synonymous with the pains of occupation. In the midst of rubble, debris, abandoned tanks, and bombed-out buildings that resemble the landscape of the post-apocalypse, the #GazaStrip and its 1.7 million denizens are no strangers to “social conflict.” With no immediate means of escape framed by an unknown future dictated by the mechanisms of #apartheid, surf culture has emerged as an outlet for down-trodden youth to experience a taste of freedom, strewn across 26 miles of #Mediterranean coastline. With a rough-around-the-edges yet sincere approach to #documentary form, #filmmakers Philip Gnadt and Mickey Yamine introduce viewers to Gaza’s #surfing subculture, with the endpoint directed at revealing the ever-burning formations of hope that glow in the hearts and minds of #Gazan youth in spite of the titan-like hurdles that beset them. Screened in the official selections of the 2016 Toronto and Dubai International Film Festivals. @berkeleycitycollege @collegealameda @laneycollege @merrittcollegeofficial @arabfilmfest @ousdnews @alameda_unified_schooldistrict @themediaacademy @metwest.art.maker @berkeleyhigh_eaop @berkeleyhigh

Trapped in “the world’s largest open-air prison” and ruled by war, a new generation is drawn to the beaches. Sick of occupation and political gridlock, they find their own personal freedom in the waves of the Mediterranean - they are the surfers of Gaza.
