It's available for rent from Netflix or GreenCine, and for purchase from its distributor Film Movement. Full of good drama -- and a lot of even better questions -- it also offers a look at what happened to some of the Lebanese who sided with Israel during (I believe) the time that you cover in this blog piece. Keep it up!TrustMovieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130460547029155342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216011953770444735.post-65940271084366340862009-06-12T14:09:01.998-04:002009-06-12T14:09:01.998-04:00My wife an I were in the Golan Heights in June of ...My wife an I were in the Golan Heights in June of 1982. We watched the flatbed trucks hauling tanks towards Lebanon, while our guide denied we were watching anything other than war games maneuvers. We could see the faces of the young soldiers were not in a playful mood at all and knew we should head back south for the safety of the beaches of Tel Aviv. We sat in the restaurant of the Dan hotel watching the Lavi's screaming north over the beach while the Dolphins hummed nervously behind. I wished at that moment that I could be experiencing what you were Ray. I wished that I could somehow be closer to the action in the north to see and hear the true stories of the christain genocide that no one seemed to care about. All these years later, thanks for caring Ray.Steve Eskowhttp://globalcoverage.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216011953770444735.post-51123003159084377242009-06-11T01:54:24.894-04:002009-06-11T01:54:24.894-04:00What a wonderful thing to have been a part of!

It is such a gift to be able to win the trust of someone to where they want to divulge sensitive information to you. You obviously made a huge impact with your reports and I commend you! What a life you have lived! I look forward to many, MANY more exciting stories!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216011953770444735.post-28893434905340649422009-06-09T02:57:03.503-04:002009-06-09T02:57:03.503-04:00The election is over.
