Ambulance

It is tough, dirty and life-threatening to drive an ambulance in conflict-ridden Gaza. With the young filmmaker Mohamed Jabaly on the passenger seat, we join one of them during the Israeli bombings in the summer of 2014. After having seen his neighbouring family's house being levelled to the ground by yet another bomb, Jabaly decides to join an ambulance every night and cover what ends up as being a 51 day long conflict with explosions and ceaseless gunfire. A tense friendship develops between him and the otherwise stoic driver, who can't even tell his family he's driving an ambulance – and soon Jabaly himself is part of the team. 'Ambulance' is a dramatic first-hand account by a self-taught filmmaker about the ungrateful work of involuntary heroes to save others in the midst of the chaos of war.
