Gaza (2024): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2024, Gaza is a documentary, war and crime film directed by Phil Rees, running about 81 minutes.

What it’s about. This feature length investigation by Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit exposes Israeli war crimes in the Gaza Strip through the medium of photos and videos posted online by Israeli soldiers themselves during the year long conflict. The I-Unit has built up a database of thousands of videos, photos and social media posts. Where possible it has identified the posters and those who appear. The material reveals a range of illegal activities, from wanton destruction and looting to the demolition of entire neighbourhoods and murder. The film also tells the story of the war through the eyes of Palestinian journalists, human rights workers and ordinary residents of the Gaza Strip. And it exposes the complicity of Western governments – in particular the use of RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus as a base for British surveillance flights over Gaza.

Who’s in it. Gaza stars Basem Naim as Self - Member of Hamas Political Bureau, Yossi Mekelberg as Self - Professor of International Relations, Chatham House, Charlie Herbert as Self - Major General (Ret'd), British Army and Andreas Krieg as Self - Security Analyst, King's College, London, among others.
