A documentary film directed by Helene Lam Trong, focused on AFP journalists covering the early months of the war in Gaza, wins best documentary at Montreal’s Cinemania film festival. The film—described in reporting as a 72-minute work—centres on four Palestinian journalists and how they continue reporting amid extreme danger.
Both outlets say the documentary follows the journalists’ daily lives and reporting challenges in a territory that is largely closed to international media. One report frames the subject as covering the first months of the war, while the other situates the coverage from after the October 7, 2023 attack. Al-Monitor also adds that the documentary is assembled from on-the-ground material produced by the filmmakers’ team and from interviews conducted after the journalists left Gaza, while Euronews highlights the film’s immersion in the journalists’ day-to-day work at personal risk.
