The War Around Us

In 2008, two close friends unexpectedly became the sole Western journalists in the perilous Gaza Strip, initially there for what was meant to be a brief 24-hour task. “The War Around Us” chronicles the intense experiences of seasoned war correspondent Ayman Mohyeldin, recognized as one of TIME’s 100 most influential individuals, alongside newcomer reporter Sherine Tadros. As rockets bombard the city and horrific events unfold, the duo grapples with intense professional competition, personal fear, and dark humor, all while being trapped with the global audience observing their every move.
