Synopsis:
In May 2003, James Miller was shot dead by an Israeli soldier in
the Gaza Strip. Miller and his close friend, reporter Saira Shah,
had set out to follow up their award-winning films Beneath The Veil
and Unholy War with a documentary about children caught in the
crossfire of the bitter territorial dispute at the heart of the
Middle East's troubles.
Attempting to unravel the vicious circle of violence that
perpetuates the conflict, Shah and Miller focus on three children
in the border town of Rafah, in the Gaza Strip. The children face
violence on both sides. The Israeli army has built a network of
sniper towers, which often claim civilian lives. The Palestinian
paramilitaries use every victim to recruit kids and groom them for
martyrdom.
