Children in Gaza live under constant threat of Israeli bombing. Soft Skin is a short film that shows how far mothers are forced to go in case the worst happens… and the psychological impact this has on their children. Soft Skin is part of From Ground Zero, a collection of 22 short films made in Gaza, initiated by Palestinian director Rashid Masharawi, to tell the untold stories of the current war. From Ground Zero is Palestine’s official entry in the International Feature Film category of the 97th Academy Awards.
