One year after the Palestinian-Israeli conflict reignited on October 7, 2023, a gripping documentary series sheds light on the untold stories of civilians caught in the crosshairs. Caught in a Year of Darkness—the latest installment from CGTN's production team—chronicles the escalating crisis through the eyes of victims, refugees, and everyday heroes.
Filmed by crews in Gaza, the West Bank, and Israel, the series amplifies voices often drowned out by headlines: parents mourning lost children, ambulance drivers racing through rubble, and activists pleading for peace. Earlier films like Caught in the Crossfire and Caught Between Life and Death laid bare the human cost, while forging unlikely bonds among team members from divided communities.
With the Middle East teetering toward deeper turmoil, this documentary serves as both a memorial and a rallying cry. As one crew member shared, \"We kept filming because the world needs to see the faces behind the numbers.\"
