Mariam Shahin has been making films about Gaza for more than 30 years.

She has also made many documentaries and short films for Al Jazeera English since it launched in 2006.

When she moved to Gaza in 2005, she felt a powerful sense of optimism following the Israeli withdrawal.

But by 2009, war had badly damaged its infrastructure, neighbourhoods, businesses and communities — and that optimism had evaporated.

Now, in the wake of the even more destructive war that began on 7 October 2023, Shahin seeks out the people she has met in Gaza over the years.

She reflects on the wasted potential and devastated lives after 16 years of blockade and a year of one of the most destructive wars in Middle East history.
