“Children No More: Were and are Gone” with Hilla Medalia

 

Protestors silently bearing the pictures of children killed in Gaza: they hold no other signs, chant no slogans.  

 

Hilla Medalia ("Leftover Women", "Prisoner X") speaks to Mike about her Oscar-nominated short documentary, “Children No More: Were and are Gone”, explaining how this act held weekly in Tel Aviv–where the images of the dead in Gaza are not regularly shown in the mainstream media–is intended less as sheer defiance than it is a call for opening a dialog.  The film’s culminating images of the mute participants buffeted with abuse, as well experiencing the heartfelt anguish of their opponents’ own losses and traumas, can be read both tragically as well as hopefully.
