The following was filmed in Israel, Palestine (the West Bank as well as the Gaza strip) and Sinai, Egypt between 2016 and 2019.
The mosaic of individuals featured here are sovereign voices expressing a unified intention.
Nobody is in costume, and no one was paid to appear in this video.
This initiative stems solely from loving inspiration by, from and for the people, and is unaffiliated with any organization, enterprise or funding.
Certain clips were submitted by those with whom borders or distance prohibited live interaction. Video quality therefore varies. The intense music, DIY choppy video editing and the imperfectly articulated words are all reflective of the unpolished, layered and rich Middle Eastern experience.
Welcome to a badass beast of a peace song.
Enjoy the ride.

Thank you-
To the 150+ people across the Middle East who chose this vehicle to take a stand for peace.
Inshallah, B’ezrat Hashem, G-d willing,
The seeds of wellbeing will grow and spread as we do our inner/outer work, speak up, and heal from individual/collective trauma.
Deep thank you to those in Gaza who submitted clips as we couldn’t be together to film in person. When borders seem uncrossable, rest assured that we find our way.
Every dividing wall must eventually crumble. Through active investment on what lies on the other side of the wall, we catalyze the process now.
If you are suffering or have lost a loved one (or several) due to this conflict, I dedicate this project to you.
Special thanks to the Wizard, Oz Caesar and to Wael Chanab.
Thank you Taher, Netanel, Oz and Tom for the translations.
I love you all. ♥
