THE BLOCK

A story of faith in Gaza

Credits Bio

Award winning photojournalist Shaul Schwarz returns from New York to his homeland to live among settlers for the last ninety days of 'Gush Katif', the "Block" of Jewish settlements in the Gaza strip that was evacuated and destroyed by Israel on August 2005.

The film tells four stories reflecting the spectrum of the settlers from radicals to moderates, young to old.  The filmmakers encounters with the settlers and their struggle to keep on living, challenged by an inevitable end presents an incredible story of faith versus denial.
