TIME asked residents of Gaza and Israel to chronicle their lives on Thursday - the day Israel's forces started a ground invasion of the Palestinian territory._  by [Nolan Feeney](https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/)  ## Nolan Feeney Aug 5, 2014 12:26 AM UTC  Anne Frank poses in 1941 Anne Frank poses in 1941 Frans Dupon—Anne Frank House/AP  by [Nolan Feeney](https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/)  ## Nolan Feeney Aug 5, 2014 12:26 AM UTC Seventy years after Anne Frank’s arrest, a new Arabic-language docudrama will use footage of the ongoing [Israel-Gaza conflict to help tell Frank’s life story](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/70-years-anne-frank-arrest-723080) and explore the topics of her widely published diary. Six Palestinian actresses will portray Frank, who died in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945 at the age of 15 following two years spent in hiding with her family, according to the _Hollywood Reporter_. Croatian director Jakov Sedlar and son Dominik will helm the film, titled _What Does Anne Frank Mean Today?_ “Although the closest I got to Gaza was 3 km, our Palestinian crew were in the city filming between bombardments,” the award-winning director said. “The last few scenes in the film include some real footage from the violence.” The film mixes scenes from a production of _The Diary of Anne Frank_ with footage of young Palestinians talking candidly about war, first love and topics that Frank wrote about as a teenager. Sedlar said he hopes the film can foster understanding between Palestinians and Israelis. “Art cannot change the whole world, but we can help to understand it a bit more,” he told _THR_. “The fact that we are doing this film in Arabic means we hope that we can do a bit to show how we must not repeat history.” \[[_THR_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/70-years-anne-frank-arrest-723080)\] ## Transcript As you see now, Gaza is totally in a blackout and there is ED drones are hovering over the sky. Hard to hear. Some sirens going off. One bomb went off. There's another one. And we'll start our day. [ MUSIC ] Good morning, it is about 8 o'clock in the morning on Thursday. We're here in Tel Aviv. Sort of the cultural heartbeat of Israel. There's suppose to be a six hour humanitarian. Cease fire this morning so hopefully things will remain quiet. If you can hear this, this is my friend's cell phone. It's beeping right now every time there's a siren somewhere in Israel it goes off and it's been beeping like crazy. It's a little fuzzy here but in in the south. And north all over Israel, missiles are dropping. Yeah, [ UNKNOWN ] leave their homes. To bring the necessities during the ceasefire. Hello, my name is Basel, I'm 19 years old from Gaza strip. I lived once in the States, in the state of Oregon. It was a heck of an experience to me. It actually spoiled me because we had electricity in the states all the time. And when you get back to Gaza it's only 8 hours. And it's [ INAUDIBLE ] of 8 hours. Here we are in Tel Aviv. It's about 12: 30 pm, about 2 1 / 2 hours after. The ceasefire was begun Hamas broke about half an hour ago but nevertheless this is life here. Barely minutes after the end of that truce two rockets were fired, headed for Israel. I'm pretty bored so I'm gonna make a lot of these videos. Just for the heck of it. I certainly have nothing to do sort of sitting down reading something and waiting for the first day of the internet to come back. Israel and Tel Aviv. You have to understand. People aren't out jogging and in cafes because they're casual about conflict. It's because one of the amazing things about people in this country. Is that with all the wars this country's been through and the struggles and the conflict it's been through, and the struggles and the conflict, people have learned to be pretty resilient. And they live life to the fullest. So we just received word that Israel has started their ground operation. And as you can see, the streets of Tel Aviv are very concerned with the updates, [ NOISE ]. As you hear, there is a lot of bombing there. [ NOISE ] And the light flares are falling from the sky. [ NOISE ] To light the whole area. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3080734/arabic-anne-frank-documentary-israel-gaza/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3080734/arabic-anne-frank-documentary-israel-gaza/"},"headline":"Arabic-Language Anne Frank Documentary to Include Israel-Gaza Footage","datePublished":"2014-08-05T00:26:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T08:00:57.333Z","description":"The director hopes the film can foster understanding between Palestinians and Israelis","url":"https://time.com/3080734/arabic-anne-frank-documentary-israel-gaza/","keywords":["movies","Israel","Gaza"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf145782859ca0f22/69869e60d0b6f2c1c6305924/ap070308060477.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf145782859ca0f22/69869e60d0b6f2c1c6305924/ap070308060477.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Anne Frank","caption":"Anne Frank","creditText":"Frans Dupon—Anne Frank House/AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3080734/arabic-anne-frank-documentary-israel-gaza/","name":"Arabic-Language Anne Frank Documentary to Include Israel-Gaza Footage"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"From Ceasefire to Ground Invasion: One Day In the Life of Israel and Gaza Residents","description":"TIME asked residents of Gaza and Israel to chronicle their lives on Thursday - the day Israel's forces started a ground invasion of the Palestinian territory.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/nxtmNoqL/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-07-18T21:39:43.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/nxtmNoqL.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3080734/arabic-anne-frank-documentary-israel-gaza/","duration":"PT3M59S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3080734/arabic-anne-frank-documentary-israel-gaza/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
