Eyeless in Gaza
Sydney businessman and owner of Polaris Films, Robert Magid has spent the past year working on a feature film – Eyeless in Gaza.
The 50 minute documentary focuses on news reporting from Gaza. It delves into media bias and skewed reporting and has turned its camera on the media, offering an investigation of international media coverage during the 2014 Gaza war.
Directed by Martin Himel, who has extensive experience in television news and documentary making, the film will premiere at the Jewish International Film Festival (JIFF) in Sydney on Thursday 10 November and Melbourne on Monday 14 November.
Magid, whose interests include media analysis, scriptwriting and cinematography, will be at both screenings to host a Q&A event after the screenings.

Would Robert Magid have any other media interest, possibly with a bias on the subject?
