British filmmaker James Miller traveled to Palestine in 2003 to make a documentary about the affect of violence on the lives of Palestinian children. He also planned to make a companion film about Israeli children. Tragically, Miller was shot and killed by Israeli forces in Rafah while making his documentary. Consequently, the film’s focus was diverted from its initial purpose. What remains is a film that is partially a tribute to the bravery and commitment of Miller, and partially a story about the poisoned lives of children growing up in Palestine.

The camera captures the atmosphere of the streets. Walls are covered with posters of militants and those killed in the conflict. When the sun sets, there’s an unearthly scene as the street vendors disappear and then “paramilitaries come out at night using the dead to recruit more militants.” Of course, those recruited are usually young males–some still in childhood. In one horrific scene, Saira Shah–also the film’s narrator–is brave enough to interview some hooded Palestinian paramilitaries who are grooming Ahmed, a young boy to join their ranks. The paramilitaries play games with the boy and the games slide into teaching him how to hold a rocket grenade launcher. When Shah asks if it is moral to recruit young children to be terrorists, the hooded paramilitary member strokes the boy’s head and chillingly responds, “don’t worry about responsibility, sister, we’re men, when we say goodbye to Ahmed, there are 1000s more like him.”
The film shows quite clearly that children on the streets of Palestine are well aware of imminent death and that their lives are irrevocably altered by their day-to-day existence–it is common for children to write letters to their families in case they are killed. “Death in Gaza” cannot be labeled as ‘pro’ or ‘con’ either side of this mess, and the film’s position is strongly anti-violence. What a tragedy that James Miller was killed, and what a loss that we will never see his intended companion piece film–displacedhuman
This documentary is both extremely sad and extremely powerful. I first saw Death in Gaza when it originally aired on HBO a couple years ago. Since then, I’ve periodically searched for it to no avail. When I found out Amazon.com would be carrying it, I immediately purchased it. This is a must-see for anyone interested in Middle East politics or the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It is both heart-breaking and disturbing to see what reality is for so many. One of the most moving scenes for me is the funerals for the martyrs. Some are crying, some are chanting militant anthems, and a man on a megaphone incites the people to Jihad. “We must continue the struggle until victory or martyrdom” he urges, his voice reverberating while an eerie soundtrack plays in the background. Seeing the impact on the children is also difficult to watch. This is a reality that should be seen by all.
