Interesting facts

With Hasan in Gaza is a 2025 documentary film produced, edited and directed by Kamal Aljafari. It documents Gaza Strip daily life in late 2001, documenting the tension between the IDF and the Palestinian population during the Second Intifada (2000–2005).

Production

Aljafari called the film "an homage to Gaza and its people, to all that was erased and that came back to me in this urgent moment of Palestinian existence, or non-existence. It is a film about the catastrophe, and the poetry that resists."

In June 2025, the film received a grant from the Doha Film Institute.
