Vibracije iz Gaze nam pruža uvid u iskustva gluve djece u kolonizovanoj i zarobljenoj obalskoj teritoriji Gaze, u Palestini. Rođena i odrasla pod izraleskom opsadom i čestim napadima, ova djeca, među kojima su i Amani, Musa, Isra i drugi, predstavljaju nam živopisne slike svojih susreta sa bombardovanjem i stalnim prisustvom dronova na nebu. Djeca opisuju svoju percepciju raketa kao osjećaj vibracija u vazduhu, podrhtavanje tla, i odjek urušavanja zgrada. Ovaj film preispituje da li je oštećenje sluha kod ove djece posljedica izraelske upotrebe zvučnog oružja, poput zvučnih udara.
Vibrations from Gaza offers an insight into the experiences of deaf children in the colonized and confined coastal territory of Gaza, Palestine. Born and raised under Israeli siege and frequent onslaughts these children, including Amani, Musa, Israa, and others, provide vivid accounts of their encounter of bombardment and the constant presence of drones in their sky. The children describe their perceptions of missiles strikes through sensing vibrations in the air, trembling of the ground, and the resonance of collapsing buildings. The film questions whether the hearing impairment of these children is a consequence of Israel’s use of sonic weaponry, such as sonic booms.
