Unmaking Of: Behind the Scenes of All That’s Left of You follows the dramatic production of Palestinian-American director Cherien Dabis' All That’s Left of You. The film follows director Dabis and her Palestinian film crew, as war unexpectedly breaks out in Gaza. As the foreign crew evacuates, the Palestinian team is left to navigate a country in conflict. Over the course of a week, the film intimately captures their moments of anxiety, anticipation, and reflection — exploring what it means to make art in a time of war.
