How not to get stuck in traffic.
- Start your trip from 405/Wilshire. Use Wilshire only
- Stay away from Santa Monica Blvd. It's a mess.
- Avoid Hwy 10. Exits in Santa Monica=Disaster.

How not to overpay for parking.
- Parking at 1358 5th is only $5 Sat-Sun. But check it twice. Companies change price list very often.

We want you to come happy, stress free and on time.

Two different characters become friends after they embraced each others.
















When I first heard the statement:
''Unsafe water kills more people than war''
I was caught off guard. In 2017? really? I grew up in Israel, a country troubled by both lack of water and war, and somehow I had never heard this before.
How could this be that Hundreds and millions of people live in Africa without access to clean drinking water, resulting in famine and poverty, and the world turns a blind eye to the situation.

Women and children spend countless hours a day searching for water.
Long distances are traveled, and physical toll is taken to find water that at the end of the day is dirty and contaminated. Not only does this affect health, it also keeps children out of school, and robs adults from being able to find work, resulting in the indefinite perpetuation of poverty.
As a documentary filmmaker and photographer, this reality was hard for me to believe,
and I needed to see it with my own eyes.
I felt compelled to take my camera to Africa to shed light on this problem.
