Palestine Kids

Description

What's it like growing up in a war zone? Dodging bullets, hiding from Israeli soldiers, and losing their land to settlers is part of ordinary life for Palestinian children. Five-year-old Diana lives in a cave in the West Bank since violence forced her family from their home. Mufida, 16, is struggling to complete her education with Israeli soldiers living on her roof. And Yassin, 7, just wants to move to Brazil. Through their stories and others, this film reveals the daily struggle of Palestinian children to survive, both physically and psychologically. "I want to live in peace," says Mufida, who must pass through a hail of settlers' stones every day on her way to school, "but then I see what the Israelis do, and I hate them.
