A State Of Passion

Carol Mansour, Muna Khalidi

Part of Caravan screening "State of Passion"

After 43 continuous days of operating under bombardment in Gaza’s overwhelmed hospitals, Dr. Ghassan emerged to find himself the face of Palestinian resistance. His stunned and pale expression, caught by global media, became an image of collective trauma. This marks his sixth and most devastating war in Gaza. So why does he return? Where does his strength come from? And how does his family endure the constant fear? The answer is simple: Palestine. Carol and Muna, close friends of the Abu-Sittah family, began filming the moment he stepped out of Gaza, capturing what they call a State of Passion.
