Fatenah - Part 1/3

Fatenah is a 27 year old woman living in the Gaza Strip. Her life is similar to the lives of many other women in Gaza. Her life changes the day she discovers to have breast cancer.
This animation, the first produced in Palestine, shows with great accuracy the scenarios of Gaza city. The 27 minutes long story is a breath-taking journey into Fatenahs daily struggles. It uncovers the human drama of her fight to survive. This journey into the heart of the Gaza Strip will touch and move you.
Based on a true story, which took place in 2005-2006, "Fatenah" shows how Israel's continued blockade of the Gaza Strip impacts the Palestinian population's right to health. A factsheet is available, which explains how the issues raised in the movie are still relevant in March 2011: http://issuu.com/who-opt/docs/fatenah_backgroundinfo

This animated video trilogy tells a story of suffering that makes us realize that the world needs to change their perception of the Palestinian. Fatenah's story urges us to continue fighting to change her reality.

This brilliant production illustrates perfectly why enough is enough..we CANNOT allow Israel to illegally blockade Gaza any longer..the world must not close it's eyes ...Sanctions must be put in place against Israel until it behaves responsibly. they have become the new NAZI party...everyone is entitled to peace.

i went to watch it at barbican in London yesterday, and the director (Mohamad Yaqubi) said that he contained the brutality of the real story, the real story he said was incredible to believe as much as absurd!... I am only wonder WHY, WHY, WHY this happen, I am ashamed as human being!

Israel is doing exactly what germany did to jews in a slower way!How can somebody defend the morality of that state?
