Gaza stretches just 43 kilometers long and 10 kilometers wide, a strip of land where most residents are refugees who have lived in camps since 1948. The film opens with the closure that followed the second Intifada in September 2000, when Israel sealed the border and cut off the roughly 40,000 Gazan day laborers who had crossed daily to work. Through interviews with families inside the camps, it tracks what that closure does to ordinary life: lost wages, crowded housing, restricted movement, and a generation raised entirely inside the blockade. Footage moves between the border crossings themselves and the streets and homes behind them, letting residents describe the uprising and its aftermath in their own words rather than through outside narration. The film stays close to daily routines, coping strategies, and the economics of a population cut off from its main source of income, building a picture of siege as a lived condition rather than an abstract policy.
