Flying Paper is the uplifting story of young Palestinian kite-flyers in Gaza, where the fascinating kite culture is a form of creative resistance. The children are on a quest to shatter the Guinness World Record for the most kites ever flown.

The film was co-produced with young Palestinians in Gaza trained by the filmmakers through a youth media program called Voices Beyond Walls.
