When the news about the oil spill off the shores of Peru, I decided to pack my gear and travel to document the effect of the spill on the wildlife. 
However, the moment I stepped on Ancon beach and met with the amazing local fishermen, I felt how my mind was changing. I suddenly realized that I was actually creating “When the Ocean Turns Black”. 
Yes, I was and I am still focused on the wildlife, but I felt that my eyes and my mind were shifting between the ocean, the wildlife and the people who are all affected by the huge oil spill.  
It became a very special journey with Edgar, Gilary, Mayumi and the others, who opened my eyes to understand how fragile the oceans are, how easy it is to pollute and destroy, and how difficult it is to preserve and protect. 
What happens to the fishermen and the seashore communities who depend on the ocean for their living?
What about the wildlife and the area?
Oil spills can happen anywhere and anytime, but are we prepared to avoid and to prevent them?
“We all make mistakes, we are humans”, as Diego says in the film, and adds: “But to fix them, we have to work together.”

The Vulture Conservation Foundation has been at the forefront of the campaign to ban diclofenac in Europe. Ever since we were alerted for the legal marketing of this drug in Italy and Spain in late 2013, the VCF has researched the situation, established the current state of play, and promoted the building of a coalition of like-minded organisations to fight together this threat (Birdlife International, SEO/BirdLife, LIPU, the RSPB and the IUCN Vulture Specialist Group).
Diclofenac is extremely lethal to vultures, and has caused a 99% decline in several vulture species in the Indian subcontinent. This veterinary drug has been now banned from 4 countries in South Asia, only to reappear legally in Europe. This is probably the most significant threat to Europe's vultures -- whose populations have been steadily recovering following considerable investment by the EU, national governments and organisations like the VCF.
There are alternatives readily available to vet diclofenac, so we must learn from the Indian example, and STOP this drug before it is too late for Europe's vultures. The VCF wants to see a total ban on diclofenacin the EU.

Soil is the basic material that can be used in developing toys. These are handy tools for healing children in areas of toxic stress. What is the role of stress on the developing child’s spirit? Part of a normal and essential part of healthy development for a child is exposure to positive stress, which is moderate and short-lived and helps children learn how to face challenges. However, stress that is severe and prolonged without the protection of supportive relationships disrupts the child’s developing brain architecture and leads to lifelong problems in learning, behavior, physical and mental health. Research on the impact of toxic stress on children is giving us new understandings of how important it is to learn how to protect and nurture the spirit of childhood. Children who are displaced, in constant fear, living in poverty and other long term stressful situations are subjected to toxic stress and its damaging impact Under the banner of Spirit of Childhood, an international group of educators and therapists are coming together to identify the best practices that protect and nurture the child’s spirit.

Open the Window: It was one of the most depressing days in my life. I was coming out of the subway at the Rome Termini station when I realized that my wallet, including my passport, credit card and cash, had been stolen. I've never felt so miserable and down as I felt there, alone and so lonely! Later that day I went to see those magnificent, amazing, breath-taking sights of the starlings dancing in the sky. From absolute down I was in heaven! I wanted to shout out from happiness! This song is dedicated to that day... It was all produced in voluntary cooperation: Daniel Shalev helped with the Italian translation, Chiara Strada composed it and played the piano, Gianluca Ferri sang, and Enrico Furzi recorded it, mixed and played the guitar, saxophone and percussions. Except for Daniel, we had never met before. All this work was done through the Internet... But our friendship and true love for birds is absolutely not virtual. It is so real and heartwarming! My love and my gratitude to all...

NARROWING THE DIGITAL GAP DURING THE CORONA VIRUS CRISIS
The Coronavirus crisis caught everyone unprepared. The education system introduced distance learning in lockdown, but 200,000 children in Israel do not own computers. They are digital dropouts. 
To narrow the digital gap between computer haves and have-nots (and the issue is further complicated when there is one computer at home, but two or three children with Zoom lessons scheduled at the same time), old "dead" computers are collected, and children and adult volunteers are taught to repair them. The initiative proves that surprisingly, in many cases, by replacing Windows with a lighter, more efficient operating system, these computers can be revived and serve the needs of any pupil.
To avoid the perpetuation of an inferior or underprivileged mindset, in every case that 
a computer was donated the children were asked to choose a way to contribute to their community in return. In this way a Social Bank of volunteer hours was created, enriching both the community and the volunteers. This documentary explores the initiative in a Jerusalem elementary school where the students were born in either Israel or Ethiopia, and in a junior high in a Bedouin community in the Negev Desert. In both places, digital trash is converted into social gold.
Winner at the Vegas Movie Award: Best Inspirational Film!
