In 2014. Israel launched offensive on Gaza that left more than 500 children dead and almost 3600 children wounded.. shockingly, 80% of Gaza population is dependent on humanitarian aid and not to mention a grim 45% if unemployment rate in that region .. these attacks caused some 24000 farmers to leave and loose their farms, 42000 aces of farmlands affected and over 400,000 children would later need some kind of psychological help...an agonizing heart-rending true story .. Whether you are a Zionist or not or even hard-hearted, this will break your heart .. a must must watch documentary .

Screening on Netflix My Review Nacido en Gaza (2014). Born in Gaza My Rating 10/10

This heartbreaking and disturbing French documentary is a beautifully filmed account describing the devastating physical and psychological effects of children who by an accident of birth live lives of uncertainty in a war torn country where in any day they could become orphans or lose a brother or sister.

Filmed shortly after the 2014 Gaza War Summer War and told through the eyes of 10 Palestinian children this documentary certainly opened my eyes to what must be happening ten fold today in Gaza and I wondered just how many of these ten children are still alive 9 years after this film?

This documentary film focuses on the violence of the Israel-Palestine conflict and it's effects on the children of Gaza. The documentary follows the story of about ten children who tell what their daily life is like after the horror of the war in Gaza in the summer of 2014.

This is such a powerful documentary that truly shows the reality. Kids are kids. All they need is love but in this young age they are just suffering. They have dreams, aspirations and it's so so painful that how everything fell apart for them. They don't deserve this, not only physically but they are suffering with PTSD and are in dire need of psychological, medical and educational help. After watching this I am truly praying for peace and happiness for them. I wish the world stop turning a blind eye towards them and be kind towards children who are innocent and needs a healthy environment to live.

This is absolutely heart wrenching to watch. Basically a prison camp for children to die or if they survive they end up with lots of traumatic psychological problems. I can't even imagine how much suffering this place has. Collective trauma. No wonder some of these kids grow up to join the resistance, they don't know any better and just see death all around. They have nothing to look forward to and just live in terror. This film was shot in 2014 and now it's 2023 when the latest war broke out. In the film the children say there is a war every year or 2. So this collective pain just keeps repeating itself. They can't work, they can't live, they can't dream of a future.

This movie hit me deep. Never imagined how hard the life of a child can be. Never imagined the size of and scenery of massive distruction.

After watching this movie I became appreciative of everything I have. I realised that no matter how hard my problems are they're nothing compared to a child wittiness his own brother get torn into pieces.

The trauma is really. Children Gaza are prevented from having a childhood.

I gave a 9 for the strong stories. The movie takes you to accompany 10 children and how were they affected by the war. I watched it on Netflix the translation was not the best tho.
