No filmmaker, writer, or artist should ever have to tell the story of their own genocide. Yet 22 brave Palestinian filmmakers found a way to film their story this past year in Gaza using whatever tools they could pull from the rubble of their homes and cities. FROM GROUND ZERO is the collection of these short films – stories of taxi drivers and mothers, toddlers and teachers, comedians and artists, finding ways to feed their families, bathe their children, bring joy to their community, and to survive.
