Anyway, "Gaza Ghetto" is devastating, heartbreaking stuff. It depicts a bad situation that has only gotten worse. Worthwhile, powerful viewing, but depressing. I watched it on @rarefilmm.bsky.social rarefilmm.com/2024/02/gaza...

after checking out both the FOTR HDR theatrical 4k and 1080 SDR I have to say, the 4k hdr is much better than I expected, it's really nice after looking at the official 4k remaster where all the effects shots now look alien and nothing that's composited feels like its in one place. thanks!
