On this episode of Radiozine on KBOO Community Radio, we’ll be joined by Monear Shaer, filmmaker and activist, for an in-depth conversation about his documentary Gaza Is Our Home, which will be screening this week in Portland.
Gaza Is Our Home is an intimate and deeply human film that centers the lived experiences of Palestinians in Gaza, offering a perspective rarely allowed space in mainstream media. Rather than focusing on headlines or abstractions, the film foregrounds everyday life, memory, resilience, and the meaning of home under conditions of siege and displacement.
In this interview, we’ll talk with Monear Shaer about the making of the film, the ethical and political challenges of documenting life in Gaza, and the importance of storytelling as an act of resistance. We’ll also discuss what audiences can expect from the Portland screening and why community-based spaces for viewing and discussion matter now more than ever.
This conversation is part of KBOO’s ongoing commitment to independent media, international solidarity, and amplifying voices that are often marginalized or silenced. At a time when narratives about Gaza are tightly controlled, this interview creates space for listening, reflection, and deeper understanding.
