After Sami Moukkadem's opening narration we listen to Palestinian Doctor Izzeldin Abuelaish on the phone to Israeli broadcaster Shlomi Eldar, Channel 10, Israel. The conversation is in Hebrew and within the terrible terrible distress is
“My God, my God. What have we done? What have we done?”

He had just lost his three daughters and that sets the tone for all that follows.

Script and stuff are by yours truly.

Sami Moukaddem, narrator

Music
Traditional Palestinian Lullaby 
Ya lel ma atwalak (This never ending night)
Rim Banna/Kari Bremen's
Lullabies from the Axis of Evil

Musically I also used a sampler instrument from 8dio.com

Human Shields

"The Scope of my dream was melting ... At first, on the upper side ... I was hearing something like a fireworks, strange sounds in the middle of the day... Watching carefully, I realized it was not lights or fire in the sky, but human people... They where falling dawn heavily... making the earth tremble

Then I reach the underground... In spite of the frightfulness of the upper, people were playing music, there in the subway, a light was penetrating the subterranean ... people were keeping busy at work...

A vertical travel in the depths. "
