Feature documentary “Life Support” is to release an original soundtrack album jointly curated by the film’s producers and 3D (Robert Del Naja – Massive Attack), featuring original score compositions from Del Naja & Habib Shehada Hanna, and a combination of new tracks & selected pieces that resonate in solidarity provided by Yasmine Hamdan, Kneecap, 47Soul, The Five Techniques - featuring Paul Weller, David Holmes and Róisín El Cherif, Siba and Monkyman, Aar Maanta (Hassan Nour) & Massar Egbari.
 
All profits from the 13-track vinyl will be donated to the Health Workers 4 Palestine solidarity fund.
 
Directed by Daniele Rugo and narrated by Star Wars “Andor” star Denise Gough, the extraordinary “Life Support” documentary follows a team of medics operating in Gaza under unspeakable conditions for two years, during which – given the ban on international journalists entering the territory imposed by the Israeli government - they inadvertently serve as independent, global witnesses to the realities of a systemic genocide.
 
The documentary received its world premiere at this year’s Sheffield DocFest and has since been nominated for a British Independent Film Award (BIFA). It is currently on theatrical release in the UK and is also available to stream via Curzon, Apple TV, Prime Video and YouTube.
 
3D (Robert Del Naja – Massive Attack):
 
“Given the magnitude and rawness of Life Support, it was humbling to be asked to compose work that could in some way enhance a second-hand experience of living the devastating realities for volunteer medics and Gazan civilians. We hope the range of compositions go some way to travelling the emotional quagmire - but also elevating the astounding human spirit and resilience displayed by the subjects of this film.”
 
Battle Box have partnered with Good Neighbor to produce an ‘EcoSonic’ pressing. Manufactured using 100% recycled PET (rPET) rather than traditional PVC, the record is fully recyclable and produced via an energy-efficient injection moulding process - a significant shift in record manufacturing. Packaging follows the same approach, with sleeves made from 100% recycled, FSC®-certified paper stock and outer slipcases produced from recycled polyethylene.
