Directed by Alberto Arce and Mohammed Rjuailah, To Shoot an Elephant is a documentary film that offers an eyewitness account from the Gaza Strip during Israel's brutal and indiscriminate assaults last winter. During the attacks, when the Israeli military banned foreign journalists from entering the Strip, Arce managed to stay inside Gaza and filmed how medical teams and hospitals were targeted by Israeli forces while performing their duties. One day after receiving the Anna Lindh Journalist Award for conflict reporting for his articles on Gaza published by the Spanish daily newspaper El Mundo, Arce won the Best Director prize at the Dei Popoli Film Festival in Florence on 7 November 2009.
On the first anniversary of the so-called Israeli ceasefire in Gaza a unique opportunity is being given to view this indisputable account of a reality showing what life is like inside a war where there is no possibility of escape.
“My film makes you part of Gaza’s reality”, Alberto Arce.
