Event
Strawberry Fields
Director: Ayelet Heller
Country: Israeli, 2007, Documentary
Duration: 60 Min
Language: Hebrew and Arabic w/English subtitles
When a suicide bomber targeted Karni in 2005, Israel closed the crossing and thousands of strawberry crates, destined for Europe, made it no further than Gazas dumpsters. This film documents Gazas strawberry fields in the season that followed, from May 2005 to April 2006, the year in which Israel disengaged from the Gaza Strip and Hamas assumed political power. The story of this little red fruit and the people who cultivate it is a study in globalization, politics and occupation. A moving documentary portrait about the courage of ordinary people caught in a war zone as documented by an Israeli filmmaker.
