THR: Vibeke Lokkeberg's "Tears of Gaza" raises the question: Can any filmmaker do a film about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict without antagonizing someone? Lokkeberg's film deals with the 2008 to 2009 bombing of Gaza by the Israeli military. Her strategy is to focus on the horrific impact this has on civilians, and mostly children and women at that. In other words, how war affects the innocent. Lokkeberg, a Norwegian actress, author and filmmaker, has scrubbed away all context, political or otherwise. This could be any war descended on an urban population.
