Gaza is a small Palestinian territory home to over two-million people. Under total blockade by Israel since 2007, its people remain resilient. This film was completed in September 2023, just before the current genocide began.
Roland Nurier sketches a portrait of life in Gaza through intimate testimonies from Gazans, historians, jurists, politicians and journalists. Yallah Gaza examines how society survives under siege, resisting erasure and bearing witness to a people’s fierce determination: how land, identity and a “fury to live” are passed from one generation to the next, despite overwhelming pressure and injustice.
