  • John Singh Charlie - Really great stuff. You seem to be able to get to places that need your support and then you go ahead and give it. We remember what you did for us. Really admire what you continue doing. All the very best from all of us in jaipur. John Singh 10 months ago

  • Alixandra Am very deeply saddened to hear of the death of Juliano Mer-Khamis. I am deeply hopeful that this does not change Zacharia Zubeidi's dedication to the theatre. Am always surprised that this film has not won more awards and been given more critical acclaim. Have you submitted it to film festivals? Am reflecting upon how we, as citizens, can do more to hellp these people and support the work of human beings dedicated to freedom and human rights worldwide. Perhaps if we each submitted this and other important films to our law makers and lobbyists, our Congressmen/women, Senators, the White House ... then perhaps we can begin to stem the tide of the trillions that go to building weapons each year and those hard earned dollars can go to creating schools and hospitals instead. 10 months ago

  • SKAAA This is a ridiculous commentary and completely anti-Israel. I can't believe I got sucked into this with an email header that said "Assassinated - Juliano Mer-Khamis, Director of The Freedom Theatre". I was hoping to see something that reflected a neutral and peaceful point of view. 10 months ago

  • So sad to hear his description of masked men jumping out of cars and simply shooting...Who was to know this would end up being his own fate. What an amazing opportunity to have been able to capture his essence and vision, his words and his art. My prayers go to the ones who survive and will carry on the work of this outstanding individual, not with guns but with artistic expression. I concur that the stage, as part of culture, is much more effective as a tool for freedom than weapons could ever be. "Peace so near and yet so fleeting..." Descanza en Paz Juliano. 10 months ago

  • Zaifod And as they clearly say in this movie, word are more powerful then guns, if it is the right words. :) :) :) Some day i hope the israels will see that to, even if they allready are masters of propaganda.. 10 months ago

  • Zaifod This is lovely! People in the vest need more of this kind to be able to see the different side of the story. Its not so easy to see bouth side of the story when you only can see vestern neews, because the vestern media is so collored by the propaganda against muslims generaly.. But i have started to notice that more and more people even here in Norway start to see that most of the news we get about muslims are only propaganda against them. :) 10 months ago

  • Alixandra Such a brilliant vid! I also met Dwaba here first and then interviewed her myself, thank you so much for your incredible work, Charles. Alix last year

  • carmen2u While the interview with Zabeidi was important, I had wished that the theatre segment was delivered in the beginning. It is there that the humanizing importance of art is made explicit. The need for self-expression towers above everything else and I'm glad you made this film that illustrates this point. 2 years ago
