About the Film

We like life Tomorrow

A short documentary film about the lives of three Palestinian families (from Gaza, Jenin and Hebron) living under conditions made difficult by the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and the siege of Gaza.

The film director gave each family a video camera and asked them to film their daily lives for one week. The families had no prior experience shooting video but were provided basic instructions in operating the camera.

The film provides a rare window into the private lives and suffering of millions of Palestinians.
