Support Our Documentary on Ras al-Auja, Occupied Palestine

My name is Andrey X, and I am an independent reporter and human rights advocate based in the West Bank, Occupied Palestine. You can find my work on Instagram, Twitter and TikTok, where I share real-time stories and updates from the region.

Our project:

My team and I are currently working on a documentary that highlights the struggles of the Palestinian village of Ras al-Auja in the Jordan Valley. This village has faced ongoing attacks from Israeli settlers and the Israeli military, and the situation remains dire.

This past summer, I spent two and a half months living in Ras al-Auja, providing protective presence and documenting human rights violations. Our documentary will offer an in-depth look into the daily life of this community under occupation, shedding light on their resilience and the challenges they face, which often go unnoticed by the international community.

Why We Need Your Support:

We have already filmed the majority of the footage, but in order to complete the project, we need funding for production. This includes editing, sound design, color correction, and translation services, all of which are essential to make this film a reality.

Budget Breakdown:

Our estimated budget for production is $20,000. If there are any remaining funds after the production is complete, we will direct them to provide direct support to the village of Ras al-Auja, further helping the community we are documenting.

The struggle of Palestinian villages in the West Bank is largely ignored by the mainstream media, and we want to change that. By helping us finish this film, you will be directly contributing to a larger effort to raise awareness and advocate for human rights in Palestine.
