Summary:
In early 2003, James Miller and Saira Shah went to the Gaza Strip to make a documentary about what it is like to grow up in a conflict zone. They were entering a region that had been in turmoil for more than fifty years. The Gaza Strip, and its Palestinian Arab population, fell under Israel's control following the Six Day War of 1967. This film begins in Nablus, on the West Bank, and examines the lives of three Palestinian children, indoctrinated in the creed of Jihad and growing up in the bullet-riddled streets of Gaza. On May 2, 2003 in the midst of filming, James Miller became a casualty of that same conflict, shot dead by an Israeli soldier in the Gaza Strip.
