Heart of Jenin <3
A film by Marcus Vetter, an award-winning documentary film director.
"On Nov. 5th, 2005, 12-year-old Ahmed Chatib was shot by Israeli soldiers in the Jenin refugee camp. Despite all the pain the father Ismael decided to donate the organs of his son. Today, four children from different corners of Israel's diverse society are alive thanks to the courageous act of the Chatib family, an act that shows us that one human gesture of peace is stronger than a thousand bullets." ~Marcusubuk on youtube
Thanks to the Wondrous Deepak Chopra for having Marcus on his XM Wellness Radio show to help get this important message out. Also keep a look out for Marcus's new documentary ( that he is currently working on) which is focused on bringing attention to the rapidly increasing problem of world poverty.

A heart from Jenin (2008); This is the story of Ahmeds heart. Ahmed was a Palestinian boy who lived in Jenin in the West Bank. In November, 2005, the 12-year old Ahmed was shot by an Israeli sniper. Ahmeds parents decided to donate their sons heart to Israel. The film is also about Samah, the Israeli girl who now lives with Ahmeds heart. Ahmeds parents says that the donation was made in the spirit of Salam (peace) with Israel and that their son lives on through this girl. A gift can transform and drill a hole in the wall, when there is someone on the other side willing to receive that gift.
A wall starts in our minds before we build it on the ground. With this film I want to draw attention to the fact that we, the ordinary people, have the power to create channels for connecting with others. To me, these two families act in a way that illuminates how conflicts can be solved; how a gift can transform and drill a hole in the wall, when there is someone on the other side willing to receive that gift. ~ cecilia. - youtube username "rosaryfilms"
