Hard to believe it's been a decade since this, and the conflict still persists. I'm curious about the fate of those children and whether this documentary had the impact it was meant to have.

What's Gaza The Gaza Strip, now shrouded in gunfire and buried under rubble in the news, was once a place where normal life could still be barely sustained. What was Gaza like before this? Sympathy often begins with children, and documentaries have the power to convey such empathy more effectively, but this film falls short of achieving that.
