A filmic gesture as vital as it is futile.
Months of watching genocide live on our phones.
Not a day goes by without images of children massacred, torn to pieces, amputated, bloodied, terrorised, trembling with fear, unable to cry because they are so shocked.
Why this infant - originally filmed by Palestinian photojournalist Momen Faiz - rather than another?
I don’t know. Perhaps his gaze, that seems to question our humanity.
