Casa Árabe is collaborating with the Al Jazeera 360 platform in the screening of this documentary, recently produced by the Qatari channel on the tragedy of the main hospital in Gaza. The premiere will feature a presentation by the Al Jazeera 360 team.
The film aims to encourage debate to end the genocide in Gaza. It is a 44-minute documentary starring Palestinians who survived Israel’s devastating bombardment of the Gaza Strip’s largest hospital complex last March and April. The film documents the crimes of the Israeli occupation inside Al-Shifa through exclusive testimonies of those who witnessed the killings, destruction, torture, starvation and arrests.
Directed by Obada Al-Baghdadi with a screenplay by Mahmoud Abu Ghalwa, Al-Shifa Hospital. Crimes They Tried to Bury is supervised by Jamaluddin El-Shayyal. Ibrahim Saber and Mohammed Al Adly are the co-producers.
As Awad Joumaa, head of original content at Al Jazeera 360, underlines, “The documentary is a snapshot of history and the ongoing genocide that has been happening in Gaza since 7 October. What is different about this film, and that was the intention from the day we decided we were going to do this, is to document what is happening through the voices of the people.”
The film’s production company has subtitled the film in English, French and Spanish in order to ensure its worldwide distribution to end a situation that has already resulted in the deaths of more than 37,000 Palestinians and the displacement of most of the Gaza Strip’s 2.3 million inhabitants.
