Foreign reporters in conflict zones often rely on local 'fixers' - people who earn a living helping journalists get their stories.
Raed Atharmneh is a fixer living and working in the Gaza Strip.
Filmmaker George Azar chose to film Raed's daily life as he works to provide for 42 clan members. It was supposed to be a straightforward story.
But Raed's world was about to be turned upside down by a terrible event which put Raed - albeit very briefly - at the very centre of international media attention.

Witness - Gaza Fixer - Part One
Raed Atharmneh has been the right-hand man for journalists covering Gaza for many years, providing essential knowledge, contacts and logistical backup for a number of reporters.
In 2006 he became part of the news story himself, when 18 members of his family were killed by an Israeli bomb.
In Gaza Fixer 2, filmmakers George Azar and Mariam Shahin return to see how Raed and his family are surviving in the aftermath of the 2008/9 Gaza war.
