Washington, DC [US], November 11 (ANI): The makers of Mohammed Sawwaf's documentary feature 'Gaza's twins, Come Back to Me,' have released the trailer of the film ahead of its world premiere in the Frontlight section at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam. (IDFA)
According to Variety, the documentary traces the journey of a family torn apart by war, from the bombed-out streets of northern Gaza to the overcrowded tents of the south, and from makeshift shelters to the shattered city.
One month into the conflict, Rania gives birth to triplets in a besieged hospital. Amid chaos, one of the newborns dies, and the surviving twins are evacuated to the south, separated from their mother, who remains trapped in the north, reported Variety.
Over 16 months, the film follows the parallel lives of the mother and the twins. The children grow before the camera's eye, taking their first steps and speaking their first words to the backdrop of explosions, moving from tent to tent, clinging to life, and longing for their mother's embrace.
Rania, meanwhile, endures displacement, hunger, and the aching wait for reunion, separated from her babies by military checkpoints and war.
The trailer of the film was shared by one of the producers of the show, 'Salah Alhaw', on his YouTube handle.
