Vibrations From Gaza

The director offers a glimpse into the life of deaf children who live and have grown up in the besieged and occupied Gaza Strip under repeated Israeli aggression. The children’s voices vividly convey how they experience the bombings, destruction, and drone buzz overhead. The film raises the question of whether the deafness they face is a natural condition or a consequence of Israel’s use of heavy weaponry, including sonic weapons.
