GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The Gaza Strip's sixth annual Red Carpet Human Rights Film Festival opened Oct. 13. This year's theme, “Shoufouna” (Arabic for “See Us”), demanded that the world pay attention to what is happening in the besieged enclave.
The festival’s first edition was held in 2014 in the wake of that year's war on Gaza, and it continued to be held despite the difficulties and challenges presented to the event’s crew and organizers by the ongoing Israeli siege.
