SBS Dateline | Gaza s Young Rebels

Nalan Al Sarraj and her friends look like any normal teenage girls - planning a night out and what to wear - but in conservative Gaza City, they stand out from the crowd.

And that’s exactly what they’re aiming to do as part of a new generation of Gazans, hungry not only for the trappings of the West, but also for political change.

Dateline features a report from French filmmakers, 416 and Sable Rouge, who went to meet the sisters and found out that they’re not alone in speaking out.

The report also includes the band, DARG Team, which is building up a following of young political activists with its Arabic rap.

There’s no doubt it’s the internet and social media that are making it easier than ever before to get their message out, but the changing face of Gaza isn’t pleasing everyone.
