Death in Gaza


Death In Gaza is an Emmy-award winning 2004 documentary film about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, opening in the West Bank but then moving to Gaza and eventually settling in Rafah where the film spends most of its time. It concentrates on 3 children, Ahmed (age 12), Mohammed (age 12) and Najla (age 16).

The film tells the story of the lives of the people who live with such a conflict everyday, and how it affects their lives. Mainly, the film focuses on seven children of the conflict and their families. After a graphic and intense scene in which an Israeli sponsored car-bombing of a suspected conspiring Palestinian suicide bomber, a witness comments that it is the next generation of the people in that area that will determine whether there is peace or war.

While filming this movie, Producer / Director James Miller was killed as a result of gunfire from an Israeli army soldier. Miller's death came about after he and fellow crew members were attempting to approach an Israeli APC at night time, audibly and visibly suggesting their neutrality as journalists by wearing helmets and flak vests marked "TV", waving a white flag and walking slowly in the open. A first warning shot was fired by Israeli soldiers, and a crew member reaffirmed their neutrality by yelling "We are British journalists". Seconds later, another shot was fired and hit Miller in the neck, killing him instantly. This occurred while the crew was filming military activity from one of the children's homes in Rafah, in the south of the Gaza Strip.
