FundUP Details

A story the world must not forget.

Campaign Description:

The world has seen headlines. We’re here to tell the story behind them.

“Twenty Minutes” is a short film based on the real events and emotional truth surrounding Israeli hostages held in Gaza. Rather than focusing on politics or ideology, this 20-minute narrative centers on the human experience — the longing, fear, resilience, and hope of those caught in unthinkable circumstances.

Why this film matters:

News fades. Public attention moves on. But for the families of hostages — and for those still in captivity — every minute counts. This film aims to:

  • Keep public attention alive through storytelling

  • Foster empathy by showing the human cost of conflict

  • Encourage dialogue and advocacy

  • Create a shareable, educational piece for schools, NGOs, and social platforms

How we’ll do it:

The film will be shot with a professional cast and crew in South Africa, using carefully researched and emotionally grounded narratives based on survivor accounts, open-source interviews, and journalistic investigations.

Funding will cover:

  • Scriptwriting and research

  • Casting and crew salaries

  • Location hire and production costs

  • Post-production (editing, sound design, scoring)

  • Licensing, subtitling, and digital distribution

Length: 20 minutes
Language: Primarily English with Hebrew and Arabic (subtitled)
Format: Narrative short (fiction inspired by real events)
Intended Release: Online platforms, festivals, awareness screenings

 

This is not propaganda. It is a human story. Your contribution helps bring a voice to the unheard and gives the world a chance to listen — even if only for twenty minutes.
