So They Know We Existed

IMDbDocumentary

When she heard the explosions around her, 15-year-old Sma Ahel immediately picked up her phone. 'I removed the password from my phone so that if we didn't make it out, and we were killed, people would know what happened to us. So they know we existed.' In their own words and images, this short documentary tells the story of a Palestinians trapped in deadly fighting between Israel and Hamas during an 11-day war in May 2021.
