Documentary Spotlighting #Homelessness in #SiouxFalls will air at the State Theatre Next Week

By Liz Ryan Aug 17, 2026

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — "A new documentary on homelessness in Sioux Falls is airing at the State Theatre next week.

"Proceeds from each showing of 24 Hours on 8th Street will go towards various non-profit organizations including #MidwestStreetMedicine, the #BishopDudleyHospitalityHouse, #SouthDakotaUrbanIndianHealth and others.

"Filmmakers say they originally planned to film for 24 hours but extended the film-making process to a full year after questions led to one plot twist after another.

"The State Theatre is selling tickets for showings on August 24th and 25th."

The Yellow Barrier — A Homeland We Can See, But Cannot Reach 🇵🇸💔

We have a homeland we belong to, yet sometimes it feels farther away than anywhere on Earth.

It is not an imagined homeland, nor merely a story inherited from our grandparents. It is the soil where our dead are buried, the land that carried our parents’ footsteps, the homes where our voices and memories once lived.

Its name was Palestine.
Its name is Palestine.
And its name will remain Palestine. 🇵🇸

But today, a yellow barrier stands between us and it.

Small in size, immense in what it represents. It draws an invisible line and tells us: You may look, but you may not go beyond this point.

Yet even looking no longer brings comfort.

We see no tree to hold onto. No trace of a home we recognize. No window left to testify that we were ever there.

The machinery of destruction did not stop at demolishing homes. It tried to erase something deeper: identity, history, culture, memory—even the dreams we once carried for our children. 🏚️💔

Sometimes I stand there and look at the space this yellow barrier allows me to see.

There is only emptiness where life should have been.

It feels as though I am looking not at a distant land, but at a piece of myself erased before my eyes.

This is where our hearts were buried.
This is where our souls took root.
This is where our sweat fell into the soil. 🌿

The hardest part is not being told, “This place is not yours.”

The hardest part is knowing that it is yours—knowing its names, remembering the homes that once stood there, carrying memories of places that no longer exist, and then standing helplessly before land from which not only have we been separated, but whose visible traces have been deliberately destroyed.

In Gaza, homeland is no longer simply a map.

It has become an absence we look at through a yellow barrier.

And that barrier has become a silent witness to an attempt to separate people from their land, their history, their memory—and even their right to dream of a future. 🕊️

But a barrier cannot change the name of a homeland.

They may destroy homes, erase landmarks, and bury the traces of a civilization. But they cannot erase Palestine from our memory.

They may prevent our feet from reaching it.
They may erase the landscape from before our eyes.
But they cannot uproot that land from within us.

So when I look beyond the yellow barrier, I do not see what remains of a home.

I see what they tried to erase.

And I see a homeland whose name survived the ruins.

It was Palestine.
It is Palestine.
And it will remain Palestine. 🇵🇸🕊️

Because history can be demolished stone by stone, but memory does not collapse so easily. 💔 https://chuffed.org/project/177144

Thyme, Heavier Than Hunger 🌿💔

In Palestine, thyme needs no introduction. It is the scent of old homes, the memory of quiet mornings, and a small piece of our land that we carry with us wherever we go. 🇵🇸

We used to eat thyme because we loved it.
Today, we eat it because we have little else.

That is the cruel irony: something that once awakened our appetite has become heavy on our stomachs. We eat it today, then again tomorrow, and the day after—not because we want to, but because the only alternative is hunger. 🥖

We spread it on bread, mix it with whatever we have, and try to convince ourselves that the same meal is somehow different. We change its shape, but we know the truth: it is still thyme, and the hunger is still there.

Sometimes I look at the plate and wonder how much our lives have changed.

The question is no longer, “What do we feel like eating today?”
It has become, “What do we still have to eat today?”

We eat thyme so often that even our stomachs begin to resist what our hearts have learned to accept.

And still, we do not abandon it.

Not because it is enough, but because we no longer have the luxury of choice.

There is an old saying: “Plant it in your belly.”
So we plant whatever we can, and keep going.

But sometimes I wonder: what happens when even a memory becomes too heavy for the stomach?

The thyme that once reminded us of our land now reminds us of hunger. 🌿💔

And yet, perhaps that is exactly why we keep eating it. When we cannot hold on to much of Palestine, we hold on to even a spoonful of thyme and tell ourselves that this land still lives inside us.

We eat it so we will not go hungry.
We carry it so we will not forget.

And in both ways, the taste of Palestine remains on our tongues—even when it is mixed with bitterness. 🇵🇸🕊️ https://chuffed.org/project/177144

💔 I am deeply sad, and I constantly find myself exhausted from the weight of all these responsibilities. I am doing everything I can to provide my children with a simple and safe life, but in Gaza, everything has become impossible.
I have tried so many times to find any kind of work that could help me provide for my children and lead them toward safety, but every time, I reach a dead end. The burden is heavy, and the responsibilities grow every day: food, water, education, medical care, and basic needs that never seem to end.
Today, I am asking you from the bottom of my heart. 🙏💔
Please share my campaign and help me reach people who may be able to stand beside me and support my family. Even sharing my post could reach someone who is able to help, and it could make a real difference in our lives.
I am not asking for the impossible. I am simply asking you not to leave me alone as I struggle to protect my children and provide them with the most basic necessities. 🙏

Today is the last day of the week, and I’ve been feeling extremely worried and sad because providing the basic necessities for my children has become harder than ever… food, water, and their educational needs. These are simple things, but they have become a huge burden for us.
I’m doing everything I can to stay strong for my children, but I can’t face all of this alone. 💔
Please, if you are able to help us, don’t hesitate to support our campaign or share our story with others. Even a small donation or simply sharing this post can make a real difference for my family. 🙏❤️
Please help me provide my children with what they need, and don’t leave us alone.

Humanity Has No Gender or Religion ❤️

Humanity has no gender, no religion, and no borders. ❤️
It is compassion, solidarity, and the courage to stand beside people in their darkest moments.

As shown in the image, Gary Lineker and others have joined voices in solidarity with Gaza. More than 20 stars from the worlds of art and sport have launched an online fundraising initiative to help provide full scholarships for Palestinian students from Gaza.

This is humanity at its most beautiful. When people use their voices and influence to support education, dignity, and the future of children and young people affected by war, they remind us that compassion can still shine through the darkness.

To everyone who stands with Gaza, thank you. 🇵🇸❤️ Your solidarity means more than words can express.

And today, I humbly ask you to extend that kindness to my family.

Tomorrow is Friday, and my family of eight needs $100 to buy a nutritious meal for my children and clean drinking water. Every dollar can help put food on our table and safe water within reach.

If you can donate, even a small amount, please do. If you cannot, sharing this message can be just as meaningful.

Humanity has no borders. Please don't let my children face another day of hunger and thirst alone. 🙏💔🇵🇸

“Israel Hayom”:

According to the plan obtained by Today magazine, the crocodiles will not be removed from the prison. Instead, they will swim freely around the wings housing Palestinian prisoners. According to the plan, known as “Establishing the Crocodile Sector in Ktzi’ot – Directorate 3000,” the crocodiles will swim in long, wide channels, in an effort to deter prisoners from attempting to dig inside their cells and escape.

A senior official in the Ministry of National Security explains: “The court ruling has nothing to do with continuing the work inside the prison. Many guards told us that the plan terrified the prisoners. They may not actually attempt to escape, but they know that the minister will not give up. They call him crazy, and from our point of view, that is a very powerful deterrent. When there is a crazy minister who fears nothing, no one dares to confront him.”

The idea had reportedly been on the mind of Itamar Ben-Gvir for about a year, coinciding with U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of his decision to establish a “Crocodile Alcatraz” prison for migrants in southern Florida.

Meanwhile, here in Israel, around 800 crocodiles were reportedly shot dead at the legendary Batzal farm, which had operated for forty years. While the farm’s owner is engaged in a legal battle against organizations such as the Nature and Parks Authority and the Civil Administration, Ben-Gvir decided to take advantage of the situation.

The senior official asks: “Why kill these crocodiles instead of bringing them in to guard the prisoners and provide security and care for them?” He adds: “The Deputy Commissioner of the Prison Service, Gonder Azzam, conducted a comprehensive investigation and discovered that keeping the crocodiles would be less expensive in the long run and would allow the number of personnel assigned to guard the prisoners to be reduced.”

“The Prison Service is preparing to receive the crocodiles in the best possible way. We have brought in an architectural expert specializing in building similar animal enclosures around the world, and we will employ a team of specialists to care for the crocodiles. The guards have already been trained on how to feed them safely. We have even designed a special resting area equipped with shade for the crocodiles, to ensure that everything complies with the standards approved for animal enclosures around the world.”

Our prisoners are in danger. Please stand with us and do not leave our loved ones at the mercy of these cruel and inhumane people. 💔🙏
And please, don’t forget my family. 🤍
If you can, please support us with a donation. Every contribution helps us provide food and basic necessities for our children and gives us the strength to keep going. Even a small donation can make a real difference. 🙏💔

Why can’t I find even one person who will truly stand by me and support my campaign? 💔
I have reached out to so many people and shared my story with them — the loss of my husband, our home, and all the beautiful things that once filled our lives. Today, I am trying to be both a mother and a father to my children, carrying responsibilities far beyond what I can handle. All I want is to provide them with their basic necessities.
I am exhausted and broken, but I cannot give up… my children need me. 💔
Please, don’t scroll past my story without helping. 🙏
Support my campaign, share my post, and help me reach people who may be able to help us. Even a simple share could connect us with someone who can make a real difference in our lives.
