In my recent travels to Israel I was inspired to capture the voices and opinions of the people there and to show both sides of the cultural clash in that region in the Middle East. The purpose being to promote the idea of being active global citizens-that essentially we should embrace our differences and see the commonalities within us all. I also recently traveled to Bronx, NY and wanted to show the inequalities hardworking citizens endure in that type of living situations. This is a pre-view film for an upcoming full length documentary that will be finished in the upcoming months.
