explore | Middle East

Jenin Freedom Theatre This is an extraordinary glimpse of living in a Palestinian camp. Totally unexpected. Check out the rest of these documentaries on explore.org as well. "Charlie" Annenberg Weingarten is the host and has the duty of awarding grants from his family's Annenberg Foundation. He searches the world for worthy recipients. He searches the world to find those with stories of compassion and understanding. Unique. He takes along a film crew, and voila a new genre of doucmentary! An odd combination of humility and self-obsession. Charlie is the star of his own films. Yet he he finds open hearts around the planet. Some are small - only a few minutes. Some are full length. Vodcast is available on itunes.
