Generation Gaza – The Lost Generation By Ferhat Gurini

As tragedy unfolds in real time before our eyes, we are constantly at risk of becoming desensitized. In an attempt at humanizing the unbearable tension between resilience and despair that Palestinians face every day, charity brand Generation Gaza is releasing the two-minute film The Lost Generation, directed by Ferhat Gurini and produced by Bacon. Generation Gaza has created a loyal following through their Palestinian football jerseys (and other items) being sold with proceeds going directly to humanitarian aid on the ground in Palestine. With the new film, they momentarily shift their focus from clothing. “The film tries to capture a form of resilience that does not stem from hope but from the absence of an alternative. It is not heroic. It is not optimistic. It is silent, stubborn and painful,” says Ferhat Gurini.
