Israel-Palestine War : From Netflix’s ‘Born In Gaza’ to Amazon Prime Video’s ‘The Gatekeepers’, documentaries to watch

The documentary ‘Born In Gaza’ on Netflix, in particular, bears a stark resemblance to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, with certain images being similar to the violence and innocence

The Palestinian terror group Hamas launched an attack on Israel on October 7. Many actors from across the globe shared their thoughts and expressed sorrows on the loss of lives on both the sides. As per reports, more than 2500 lives have been lost in Israel and Palestine.

There have been many documentaries that have been made on the conflict between Israel and Palestine. Here are some of them that you can watch:

Born In Gaza (Netflix)

This documentary that came out in 2014 sheds light on the aftermath of the trauma that occurred in Gaza over a decade ago. This chilling documentary narrates the lives of ten young children that narrate their ordeal.

Gaza Fights For Freedom (Netflix)

Gaza Fights For Freedom was filmed during the height of the Great March Of Return protests. The documentary involves exclusive footages where 200 unarmed civilians were killed by Israeli snipers since March 2018. It is directed by journalist Abby Martin.

The Gatekeepers (Amazon Prime Video)

This documentary on Amazon Prime Video amalgamates archival footages, interviews, and computer animation to tell the story of surviving former heads of Shin Bet, the Israeli security agency, whose activities are held state secrets.

The Law In These Parts (YouTube)

This documentary that’s available on YouTube is divided into five chapters and essays the legal history of Israel’s occupation of Arab territories. Director Ra’anan Alexandrowicz said about this, “This film is not about the people who broke the law. It’s about the people who wrote the law.

Frontiers Of Dreams And Fears (Netflix)

Amid getting bogged down by circumstances and destiny, two Palestine girls develop a bond of friendship and humanity. The two girls are divided by borders but united by an unshakable bond.

Tantura (Netflix)

The year is 1948. Hundreds of Palestinian villages lost their inhabitants. They refer to it as “Al Nakba,” the Catastrophe, while Israelis refer to it as the War of Independence.

Tears Of Gaza (YouTube)

The documentary talks about the destruction caused by Israel’s bombing of Gaza in the winter of 2008. It’s a terrible time for local women and children as they struggle for food, water, home, and livelihood.

Similarities between the documentary Born In Gaza and the Israel-Palestine War

The documentary Born In Gaza in particular, bears a stark resemblance to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, with certain images being similar to the violence and innocence.

This is an image that shows the innocent victims that the war has claimed. The child on the right is an actual image whereas the one on the left is a chilling moment from the documentary.

Here’s another image, the one on the left from the real children from Israel, and both the images show how even amid the war, some children are able to enjoy a moment of innocence.

Be it the documentary or reality, war causes destruction everywhere, and these two images are proof of that.

Again, a chocking image on both the sides as a mother consoles her child as the family continues to grapple with the aftermath of violence.
