Summary

The War Around Us tells the absorbing true story of the only two international journalists on the ground in Gaza during IsraelÌ<U+0129>s bombardment and invasion of the troubled Palestinian territory over a three-week period in 2008-9. Award-winning filmmaker Abdallah Omeish (Occupation 101) chronicles the experiences of Al JazeeraÌ<U+0129>s Cairo-born, Arab-American Ayman Mohyeldin and Arab-British Sherine Tadros as they report from Gaza City throughout the devastating assault. With never-before-seen footage and gripping personal testimonies, the film bears witness to IsraelÌ<U+0129>s ongoing siege of Gaza in the wake of its withdrawal in 2005, and pays tribute to the power of journalism Ì<U+0129> and friendship Ì<U+0129> under conditions of enormous conflict and stress. The result is a deeply human glimpse into wartime reporting and life in one of the most besieged places on earth. Essential viewing for courses in journalism, media, and communication
