Sinopsis

An eyewitness account from the Gaza Strip, where on 27 December 2008 the Israeli army launched Operation Cast Lead: twenty-one days shooting elephants. Urgent, insomniac, dirty, shuddering images from the only foreigners who decided and managed to stay, embedded inside Gaza Strip ambulances alongside Palestinian civilians.
