On July 16, 2014 four young boys were killed by Israeli artillery fire whilst playing on the beach where the film was shot.
Their names are:
Ahed Atef Bakr, aged 10
Zakaria Ahed Bakr, aged 10
Muhammad Ramiz Bakr, aged 11
Ismail Muhammad Bakr, aged 9
Many of the fishermen interviewed in the documentary are part of the Bakr family – the film has now been published in memory of their four young boys, murdered in the latest assault on Gaza.
