“Ahmad Alive” is the harrowing story of a Gazan travel vlogger, Ahmad Ghunaim. Ahmad never aspired to be a war correspondent, but after October 7th, with foreign journalists banned from Gaza, he needed to show the world what was happening. With just his phone, Ahmad captured Israel’s genocide on Gaza. We follow him as his house is bombed and he becomes a refugee overnight. Fearing for his life, Ahmad is forced to live on the streets, sleeping in hospitals, cars, and tents.
