PUT YOUR SOUL ON YOUR HAND AND WALK
A powerful film documenting life under siege in Gaza through the eyes of a young Palestinian photojournalist, Fatma Hassona.
Unable to enter Gaza, director Sepideh Farsi struck up a FaceTime relationship with Fatma that resulted in hours of conversation recorded over one year. Their calls show a radiant young woman and gifted photographer whose pictures reveal the devastation of her city.
