Farah and Myriam: Childhood Under Siege in Gaza

Two young Gazan girls named Meet Farah and Myriam.

Night is a reminder of loved ones who were killed in the dark, in Farah’s eyes.

Myriam’s mother and sister were taken away from her home, leaving her with them. The rubble is still where her aunt’s body is buried.
After two years of fighting, the two girls meet to discuss their grief, fears, and hopes for the future. She lives in a tent next to the ruins.

Wissam Moussa directs Farah and Myriam. It’s one of 22 short films from Gaza that Palestinian director Rashid Masharawi started to tell the untold stories of the current conflict.
