Documentary that tells the story of a growing autochthonous movement in the Middle East & North Africa. Hundreds of locals are being raised, trained and called to risk their lives and act as beacons of light and hope in the MENA region. Filmed in Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia and 8 different cities.
Two versions were made, a 3:30 and a 10:00 that were presented in conferences, fund-raising events, and private meetings.
