Jaber Badwan
Photographer and Filmmaker in Gaza Strip,
Award-winning Director of Photography and Producer 6with extensive experience producing
high-impact current affairs and investigative content from Gaza. I was born and raised in Gaza
and I have dedicated myself to showing the world the reality of life under constant bombardment
and attack by the Israeli military, documenting the war crimes and capturing the strength and
resilience of Palestinians in the face of unparalleled adversity.
My work has been shown by international broadcasters across the globe and recently awarded
Emmy Award (Current Affairs), BAFTA Craft – Emerging Talent, Rory Peck Impact
Award, One World Media Award, and the British Journalism Award for Foreign Affairs.
I am experienced working closely with Directors and Producers outside of Gaza, securing access
and organizing shoots by myself in the incomparably complicated and dangerous situation all
Palestinian journalists find themselves. I am confident and experienced shooting with presenters,
observationally, as well as setting up and conducting interviews on my own. I pride myself on
being able to capture moments of beauty, humanity and humour amongst the horrors, getting to
the heart of the story. My globally recognized films includes Kill Zone: Inside Gaza and Gaza: Doctors Under Attack, both internationally recognized with top honors.
