Abdallah Omeish is a documentary filmmaker whose past films include the award-winning Occupation 101 (2007). Omeish’s most recent film, The War Around Us (2014), tells the story of the 2008 Gaza War from the perspective of two young journalists trapped inside the Strip as it was pummeled by air and ground attacks. Sherine Tadros and Ayman Mohyeldin were the only foreign journalists in Gaza at the time, and their reporting on the ground played a crucial role in exposing the brutality of the war.
