On page 30, Elinor Davidov writes about a 40-episode television documentary called Gaza-Sderot, Life in Spite of Everything. Each episode features an interview with an ordinary person on either side of the border, describing daily life. The result is a fascinating combination of drama and banality that makes each episode worth watching. It was co-produced by a staff from Sderot’s Sapir College, Gaza’s Ramattan Studios and the German-French arte.tv (photos and bio blurbs are here).

The project is a fantastic way to help build empathy for each others story.

And then we quite rightly focus on an web-based video blogging effort called GAZA\SDEROT: Life in Spite of Everything that had been trying, and vows to continue to try, to bring Palestinians and Israelis together with beautifully shot two minute films.

I've come upon an excellent site where you get a real picture of the situation. It's a web documentary on the lives of people on both sides.

If you're interested in getting to know the people of Sderot and of Gaza, I can recommend the Arte project of short films 'Gaza/Sderot - Life in spite of everything' . Many of the people you will see in it (on both sides) have now been forced to leave their homes

Very interesting mashup. Gaza and Sderot. Maps, images, videos daily. http:// gaza-sderot.arte.tv/

As we are getting regular news on the war on the Gaza strip, we may often lack background information. I’d like to share a very good set of small videos on the daily life of 6 peoples in Gaza and Sderot (in Israel, close to the border of the Gaza strip) despite the war situation. It happens to have been broadcast during one month just before the war made the headlines. It is called “Gaza-Sderot”, and it is available here.

In this website http://gaza-sderot.arte.tv/en/#/map/ there are some pin points in a Gaza City map.

thinks you should check this out: http://gaza-sderot.arte.tv/en/ Very, very interesting, and moving.

Recently the French-German cultural television station ARTE undertook a project called Gaza Sderot in which short videos were shot by Israeli and Palestinian teams on a daily basis for two months, following six people from Gaza and six from Sderot. You can see the results here.

Another interesting documentation (a serial) on ARTE.TV where both sides get their voice heard: Gaza and Sderot

A recently released documentary, before Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, on life in Sderot and Gaza:

Arte TV has two video portraits — one of a Palestinian living in Gaza and the other of an Israeli living in a town in danger of rocket attacks. It’s all subtitled in English, and it puts a human portrait on what their lives are like. It was made ten days before the truce’s end this week.

see? still learning so much from you http://gaza-sderot.arte.tv/

With all the information being thrown at us, I thought i'd share some insight I've been getting from this blog http://gaza-sderot.blogspot.com/. For the whole year. also, there's a program chronicling the lives of the people on both sides that finished just before the latest escalation of violence: http://gaza-sderot.arte.tv/

The Gaza/Sderot: Life in Spite of Everything Project is one of the prime examples of the variety of ways a bridge between different cultures and world-views can be created through online media. In this project created by ARTE.tv, a French-German cultural television station, twelve people going on their day to day business on either side of a violent border were exposed on a website for ten week project which ended on December 23rd.

Death and Art have been friends for a long time. They reminice about their years as students, time spent smoking Gauloises, arguing about Kierkegaard and making bathtub absinthe. Now Death and Art are old men who fish on cold lakes, quietly enjoying each other’s company in the misty half-light of morning.

My research led me to 'Gaza Sderot - Life In Spite of Everything', a web-documentary by a French company. It follows the lives of men, women and children in two cities on the Israeli Palestinian border. Every day since October 26, 2008, two 2minuted videos are uploaded, one from each side. They are viewed side by side, giving a truly real look at the daily lives of these people. Despite the many dangers (air bombings and rocket attacks, power cuts and lack of food or medicine) the people never stop working, loving, and dreaming. It's been really amazing to get to know the people and follow their lives, and contrast them with how good we have it here in Canada. It's all very inspiring, and makes me want to do something.

Wow, eye-opening story about "Gaza/Sderot" web video series that shows life on both sides of electric fence: http://tinyurl.com/68ycgk
