Here’s a description of the film in two paragraphs:
Gaza’s Twins, Come Back to Me (2026) is an immersive documentary by director Mohammed Sawwaf that follows a family torn apart by the war in Gaza. One month into the conflict, a woman named Rania gives birth to triplets inside a besieged hospital; one newborn dies amid the chaos, and the surviving twins are evacuated south while Rania remains trapped in the north, separated from her children by military checkpoints.
Filmed over sixteen months, the documentary traces the parallel lives of mother and children — the twins growing up on camera against a backdrop of explosions, moving between tents and makeshift shelters, while Rania endures displacement and hunger as she waits to be reunited with her babies. Drawing on intimate, real-time footage captured on both sides of Gaza’s divide, the film is framed as a portrait of survival, longing, and the resilience of a mother-child bond that persists even through war. It has screened at festivals including IDFA and CPH:DOX, and is produced by Al Jazeera Media Network and Een van de jongens.
