Gaza to Oscar
Palestine/France/Qatar, 2025, dir Alaa’ Damo, 23 min

Very Small Dreams

In Gaza’s refugee camps, women fight to preserve their dignity as everyday life becomes a struggle for survival. Etimmad Washah’s film follows women navigating the harsh realities of life in the camps, where even the simplest needs become difficult to meet. Very Small Dreams finds humanity in these everyday struggles.
