Explorations
The above link will take to you a wonderful web site with stories and essays written by young people inside Gaza. The site is being updated regularly and is well worth a read.
Here please find links, videos and recommendations we have discovered as we research the on-going story of Gaza.
With so much misinformation and disinformation filling the media it is hoped these links will help paint a much more complete picture of life inside the siege.
This is a video posted by IRIN (Integrated Regional Informational Network) a non profit news organization focusing on international humanitarian issues.
The organization, once a branch of the United Nation is now independent.
This video focuses on the role of first responders inside Gaza and presents a very honest picture of their situation.

My Name is Rachel Corrie
On March 16th 2003 Rachel Corrie lost her life in Gaza while standing witness to the conflict surrounding her. The stage play My Name is Rachel is drawn from her diaries and emails. We spent time with actress Ashley Malloy in Washington, DC who is now touring the country sharing her words.
Ghetto Theory
The art work created in the Ghettos of Poland and Czechoslovakia during the Nazi era are striikingly similar to the art work being created today in Gaza and on the West Bank.
We are beginning to explore this chilling reality and will be
searching for examples both from the past and today.
Your feedback to this effort is welcomed.
