A collection of 25 interviews with residents of the Gaza Strip—produced as animations to protect the subjects—Whispered in Gaza attempts to portray the attitudes toward Hamas of those who actually live under its yoke. Unlike their compatriots occasionally interviewed by major media outlets, these Gazans had a chance to express themselves away from the ears of minders and without fear of reprisals. One interviewee spoke for many when he said of Hamas, “They exploit us under the pretext of resistance.” Joseph Braude, who played a leading role in the project, discusses its content and impact with Stacey Roman. (Video, 31 minutes. A longer summary can be found at the link below.)
