"The dreams we carry during genocide" by Asem Alnabih from Gaza

Подробнее о видео

"But the voice that really hit me was from a little blond boy who whispered: 'I just want to hear my mother's voice calling me in the morning for school. That’s my dream.' I knelt beside him and asked gently, “Is that really your biggest dream, buddy?"

"He nodded and said, 'It’s an impossible dream. My school was destroyed, and my mother was killed.'"

"I didn’t know what to say, until one of the children asked me, 'Uncle, what’s your dream?'"

"I paused only for a second before replying, 'My dream is for all your dreams to come true.'"
