GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Eighty-year-old Umm Bushra hangs the bread on a clothesline and waits for it to dry. She then sells it to whoever owns chickens, and then she spends the little income — about 5 shekels ($1.29) a day — she gets from it on herself as she lives alone without a husband or son. This all plays out in a scene from a documentary film produced by a young Gazan.
Umm Bushra’s life was the theme of a documentary film titled “Bread, the Source of Life,” directed by the young Samar Abu Elouf, who participated in the 2013 United Nations Relief and Works Agency's (UNRWA’s) Clothes Line Competition held in Ramallah. The documentary placed fourth.
