A road trip straight through Israel. Had no idea what the complexities and diversity of the cultures were, but I got deeper and deeper, seeing all walks of life living together in this amazing land. The conglomerate of things happening in that tiny, but EPIC country (it's smaller than New Jersey!) packed a punch like a bustling beehive. I was overwhelmed and totally let Israel envelope me. I bonded with every flavor of person there... they were all Israeli. They were all beautiful people. (By the way, the title isn't spelled wrong, lol...read it again ;)
Shot with the 7D and edited with Sony Vegas
I edited this video with a fever, kidney infection, and $4 headphones! LOL.
Music by the amazing John Adams (Harmonielehre_ Part III - Meister) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000TH4VOK/ref=dm_mu_dp_trk3

“ I END UP LIVING FOR THE PEOPLE WHO AREN'T LIVING. ”
Being there for a patient’s final last breath is something
every volunteer trains for but rarely experiences. So Kristin
was caught off guard when her patient died right in front
of her. For a moment she is alone - still holding on to her
own breath as if she, too, could die right there. Unaware of
the patient’s passing, a chorus suddenly comes in and
starts singing.

“SOMETHING HAPPENS BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE THAT IS TRANSCENDENT.”
Chairs are scattered all along the gracious lawn outside the hospice unit - haphazardly left from the conversations once had. Leon tells us about his own conversations had with the dying - many of whom have alzheimers.
Inside, we meet Trudi, a hospice patient, who engages with Leon over a game of cards as if it were just another day. Trudi may forget. But Leon will remember this day forever.

"Hope is a Thief."
Kathleen has been preparing for her own death for over ten years when she first volunteered for hospice care. And quite uniquely, she is also a hospice volunteer. Even with a terminal illness she continues on with a buddhist-like sensibility- seeing her end as just another thing that happens - just like her dinner parties.
Since the shooting of this film, Kathleen has passed away.

Just think about it… What if you were trapped under something heavy and the mouse was out of your reach? Scary, right? That's exactly why we have these keyboard shortcuts so you can still use Vimeo until the help arrives.
