Gaza Surf Club
director: Philip Gnadt / Mickey Yamine actor: Ibrahim N. Arafat / Mohammed Abu Jayab
other title: 我们在加萨停火时冲浪 / Gaza Surf Club
Trapped in "the world's largest open-air prison" and ruled by war, a new generation is drawn to the beaches. Sick of occupation and political gridlock, they find their own personal freedom in the waves of the Mediterranean - they are the surfers of Gaza.

[從河到海] 放映結束後,主辦者給觀眾介紹片中人物近況:“他們都還活著。”和那些親友在加薩的巴勒斯坦人一樣,這已經成了一個默認的開場白。但是Ibrahim祖父母和叔叔的家被夷為平地,失去了16還是17位親人。
加薩的海水渾濁灰黃還有些垃圾漂浮物,背景是夾雜在廢墟中的高樓,但是更讓人覺得踏實、安心,沒有罪惡感的那種,就像破破爛爛的紐奧良一樣,是那種感覺身處在一種真實中的安心,那種被無視、忽略甚至掩蓋的真實。
“糟糕的地方”沒有人來搶,反而成了真正屬於所有人的地方,不像夏威夷的碧海白沙,只是“去得起那裡的人”的專屬。所以看加薩人用全加薩唯一的幾塊破舊衝浪板 (因為以色列不允許加薩進口衝浪板) 在背景是斷壁殘垣的浪頭裡穿梭的畫面,那種平靜卻又震撼的感覺完全不是平時看到的那些炫目的衝浪瞬間可比的。
另外尤為寶貴的是給衝浪女孩 Sabah Abu Ghanem 和她爸爸的片段。這個爸爸一直都在笑啊笑,說起女兒會游泳更是就像她已經是世界冠軍了一樣。Sabah 從海裡回到岸上,馬上被小妹妹們團團圍住問她是怎麼學會的游泳,這不就跟當冠軍是一樣的嗎。主辦者介紹 Hamas 禁止女性參加體育活動,但是加薩的女性仍然在為本該屬於自己的自由而堅持,她們組成秘密俱樂部進行非公開的訓練。查到Getty Image還有Sabah去年和兄弟一起訓練衝浪的照片。
向真主祈禱,保佑她們能挺過這一劫。

At the age of 34, former New Orleans Saints defensive back Steve Gleason was diagnosed with ALS and given a life expectancy of two to five years. Weeks later, Gleason found out his wife, Michel, was expecting their first child. A video journal that began as a gift for his unborn son expands to chronicle Steve’s determination to get his relationships in order, build a foundation to provide other ALS patients with purpose, and adapt to his declining physical condition—utilizing medical technologies that offer the means to live as fully as possible.
