ROUGH CUT
10 minutes
Taghreed Saadeh ~ director/producer

Rough Cut is a short documentary that brings us to the streets of Gaza to witness the aftermath of the most recent military attacks by Israeli forces. The film shows real accounts of the suffering of people in Gaza. We see firsthand the effects of death on children, women, and civilians as they express their need for help.
