From Local Communities to a National Movement
National/grassroots Impact
Gaza Is Our Home has grown far beyond a traditional film release.
What began as a deeply personal documentary has evolved into a nationwide grassroots movement — carried forward by students, organizers, educators, faith leaders, and community members who believe these stories deserve to be heard.
Through independent organizing and community partnerships, filmmaker Monear Shaer has brought the film directly to audiences across the United States, creating spaces for reflection, dialogue, and human connection.
A Journey Across Communities
Over the past two years, Gaza Is Our Home has reached communities across the country through a self-coordinated national screening tour.
What makes this tour unique is that it has grown almost entirely through grassroots support — with communities inviting the film into their universities, cultural centers, faith institutions, and local gathering spaces.
Each program becomes more than a screening.
It becomes a moment where people come together to listen, learn, and engage with the human stories behind global headline

Conversations That Continue Beyond the Screen
Many screenings include extended programming designed to deepen the experience beyond the film itself.
These programs often feature:
- moderated community discussions
- panel conversations with local organizers and educators

- exclusive live calls with family members on the ground in Gaza
These conversations allow audiences to move from simply watching the film to actively engaging with the stories and the broader human questions they raise.
