Leo told Mega Doctor News that he spent half of the time living with a Palestinian family in the West Bank meeting with physicians, human rights lawyers, activists, and students learning about their condition living in conflict.

He said, “The other half of this trip, I traveled to the state of Israel meeting with academics, historians, religious leaders, advocates, students, settlers, etc. learning about their perspective.”

He pointed out that he learned a great deal.” Now, his main objective is to share this powerful story with the public.

His film producer Homero Salinas, Jr. said, “Hello, we are excited to be back in America after a ten day journey to Israel and Palestine. This was an incredible experience, we have a lot footage and great interviews with great people.”

He said, “My film partner and I thank our supporters and we release an official video clip of the footage we obtained in the Middle East.”
