Muah,

I am a peacebuilder, actor and musician here in Lebanon (and a combination of all three most of the time). So I'm dealing with those sorts of "actions" all the time. Any given person in this region is always faced with these issues, so let alone a peace artist. Memory is a huge issue we deal with, especially when it comes to reconciliation. Waltz with Bashir had a lot of subthemes about that. I can relate to that a lot; as a person and as a peacebuilder in Lebanon and the region.

I am glad to hear about the efforts you and your girlfriend are carrying out. Courage, my friend. We always say that those who "work for war" are very hard workers (even though destruction is very easy); thus, we should be 10 times the hard workers that they are if we really want to have an effect and make a change, especially through art.

I am glad we connected. Please, do keep in touch and let's capitalize on this connection and try to look for productive synergies.

Have a good weekend.
Raffi

It's such a coincidence to hear from you about Waltz with Bashir. I had just watched it today as well and I'm still trying to get over it, actually.

It is forbidden here in Lebanon, so I was able to get a copied screening-purpose copy from a friend in London.

Yes, I hope I'll hear from you later as well :)
