In August 2008, two small Greek fishing boats with 44 activists from 17 different countries broke the naval siege, illegally laid by the state of Israel on Gaza, for the first time after 41 years. The mission was the brainchild of the Free Gaza Movement, founded in 2006, who realised that the only realistic way of breaking through the blockade was via the sea. Gaza, We Are Coming, is a special documentary that charts the history of the project to break the blockade of Gaza by sea.The film was directed by filmmakers Yorgos Avgeropoulos and Yiannis Karipidis and produced by Small Planet.
