The Story
They cannot hear the bombs. They feel them.
Vibrations from Gaza offers a glimpse into the experiences of Deaf children in the colonized and confined coastal territory of Gaza, Palestine.
Born and raised under siege and frequent onslaughts, these children — including Amani, Musa, Isra’a and others — give vivid accounts of bombardment and the constant presence of drones in their sky. They describe missile strikes through the vibrations in the air, the trembling of the ground, and the resonance of collapsing buildings.
The film also asks an unsettling question: is the children’s deafness natural, or a consequence of the sonic weaponry — such as sonic booms — used over Gaza?
“My siblings are more frightened, because they can hear.”
— a child in the film
