Gaza Fights for Freedom

This powerful beautifully shot public funded docu-film is by the Empire Files producer/journalist/host Abby Martin along with brave Palestinian videographers. Gaza Fights for Freedom deserves an Oscar.

Amazing work by Abby Martin and her team. It takes courage, determination and high morals to dedicate one's time to telling the truth and standing against oppression, state terror and war crimes.

Abby Martin and team made a phenomenal doc that for some will expose and for others inform on the horrific situations in Gaza. This is an important film to watch to counter the "official" narrative.

I truly can not put into words how important is this documentary for giving voice to people of Gaza, or to Palestinian people in general. This film shares their pain, their struggle, their loss with the rest of the world with such a momentum. I was enthusiastic when I found out that there would be a film screening of Gaza Fights For Freedom, and even more when I saw that it was being made with the tremendous help of Abby Martin at the editing phase. As long as it lasted (1h and 20m) I was bawling my eyes out most of the time.

But how did this documentary made it to the big screen? In 2018, Abby Martin did not have a permit for entering Gaza, so she cooperated with Palestinian journalists, reporters and local people that shot the audiovisual content, following the events during Gaza's Great March of Return in 2018. Later, they successfully delivered a large amount of reportorial content to Abby and her team, without it being prohibited from the Israeli government. Abby, a high-flyer in exposing truth as a journalist, and her team is responsible for the editing and the final cut of this documentary, having the knowledge to create a powerful film experience through the actual events that took place at that time in Gaza strip.

This film is a teamwork between the people who suffer and the people who can bring the truth to mass media and the broad audience.

This documentary brought me to tears and does a fantastic job juxtaposing the nearly ubiquitous one-sided propaganda machine propping up Israel against the actual horrors suffered by the people of Hamas. It could not be more clear that America is supporting war criminals in Israel. Watch how nearly completely defenseless Palestinians try to fight against siege warfare, a blockade and war crimes committed by the Israeli government. If this documentary doesn't change your world view or aide in your journey to discover the truth, then I am afraid you are already too far gone to be saved.
