Photos from the life of a 26-year-old freelance documentary filmmaker from Gaza. Over the past few months, she has documented the humanitarian work of DEC charities and their local partners through Fairpicture. Before the escalation of the conflict, she ran a poetic documentary filmmaking course for young women. When the conflict intensified, she held drama workshops for children to support their mental well-being. She smiled throughout the interview and reassured us that everything is, or will be, okay. Interview by DEC on 9 May 2025 via video call from Gaza.
