This is the very unsterile subject of the film: the unimaginable violence with which families were sundered, to which this film makes you a witness. The cameras linger on the faces of children as they tell their stories, unaffected and open.

This documentary shows the world through the eyes of three Palestinian children after the Gaza bombing. The violent attack leaves women and children without shelter and basic necessities. It is in these brutal conditions that they care for their injured family members and mourn the loss of those who did not survive.

What are critics saying?
Slant Magazine by Andrew Schenker
There's no coddling the audience in Vibeke Løkkeberg's verité heave of disgust as the full consequences on the Palestinian people of Operation Cast Lead are made sickeningly clear.
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
Woven together, these monologues of bereavement and confusion, illustrated with images so terrible they repel rational explanation, form a tapestry of human misery that's impossible to shake off.
Los Angeles Times by Kenneth Turan
Tears of Gaza is both horrifying and frustrating. This documentary's goals are noble ones, but its execution is something else again.
