I’m Not Afraid of the Soldiers

2016 | Documentary Short | 19.5 min
by Rinske Bosch
SUMMARY

Soldiers who fire tear gas at you, keep you under surveillance every day and even storm into your house and take your brother away… Yazan, 13, has experienced it all. He lives in a Palestinian refugee camp, surrounded by a high wall and control towers. Yazan would so much like things to be different, but how? The Israeli soldiers by the Wall don’t listen to the children.
But maybe they’ll watch… Together with his friends, Yazan makes a poster that tells his story.
They want to put it up at the most dangerous place in the camp. Will they succeed?
