Per-Åke Holmquist

The documentary follows a field psychologist in northern Gaza who goes on home visits in Jabaliya refugee camp in Gaza.

In the first documentary feature film made in Gaza, Gaza Ghetto highlights the historical precedents of war, dispossession and military control that influence a family's daily life in Jabalia Palestinian refugee camp. Intimate scenes --a child is born, a grandmother dies -- are inter-cut with visits to the architects of the Israeli military occupation. Ariel Sharon, Benyamin Beneliezar and soldiers on patrol candidly discuss their responsibilities.

The last 31 years, PeÅ Holmquist has filmed in Gaza, depicting the fate of its people in this often cruel world. Now Holmquist makes a personal reflection based on his many visits to Gaza, most recently after the three-week intense war with Israel during 2008-2009.
