Filmed from the point of view of a young foreigner in the Gaza Strip in 2018, "Journey into Gaza" shows intimate moments between friends, bustling street scenes and people gathering for the "Great March of Return" border protests. The film, which will be released next month, was completed before last year's October 7 attacks, but is still undeniably political — denouncing the lack of freedom for Gaza residents under the control of both Hamas and Israel. However, as filmmaker Piero Usberti tells FRANCE 24's Perspective programme, the goal was first and foremost to share with viewers the "beauty and poetry" that he found in Gaza before the war.
