Ambulance

2016 | Documentary | 80 min
by Mohamed Jabaly
SUMMARY

A raw, first-person account of the Israeli war on Gaza in the summer of 2014. The filmmaker, a young Palestinian man from Gaza City, joins an ambulance crew as war approaches, looking for his place in a territory blockaded under siege, and films their harrowing and heroic lifesaving work.

In response to the dark chaos of war, the filmmaker learns to rely on the ambulance captain and crew, who in turn support him to make a film that expresses both the trauma and hope of the Palestinians of Gaza.

Advisory: Graphic war violence
