It was a sleepless night full of tears and fear . . . I am terrified, not because of what is happening around us, but because I am getting used to it.
Who Will Tell My Story? presents an ordinary existence interrupted by unfathomably seismic and unjust events. On the ground in Gaza during the first months of the Israeli-Palestine conflict, the author of this diary maps out the physical and psychological terrain of a life under siege. Traversing the bombed ruins of his country, we see him as he searches for foodstuffs and power to charge devices, maintaining contact with the outside world, checking in with his friends and family along the way; we see his heart swing between despair and faith, fear and optimism, his mind imagining different futures and confronting the brutal truth of his present.
Shining a light on the fate of all those living through war and occupation, Who Will Tell My Story? conveys with astonishing clarity how seeds of hope might linger amid the most trying of times.
A moving account of life in Palestine in the wake of the October 7th attacks.
