Sunday, June 14, 6:30 P.M.  BORN IN GAZA

Our upcoming film is Born in Gaza (2014) a documentary by filmmaker Hernán Zin.  Filmed during the Israeli offensive that devastated the Gaza Strip in July and August 2014, the film follows ten children who tell us what their daily lives are like under the bombs. The Argentine director offers us an intimate and profound look at the way in which violence gradually transforms the lives of these ten children. It is heartbreaking, but necessary watch.
