Brave American journalist, Diego Buñuel, takes you to another risky place to travel - Gaza strip, Jerusalem and Hebron. Shocking truths about the places has really entertained me. You'll experience how it is to be a resident in this dangerous city.

About 5000+ rockets bomb Gaza annually, that's about 3x a day! Who would've thought that an alarm would siren when a rocket lands within 10 minutes? Better hide under a ready-made bomb proof concrete hide out, just beside the bus waiting shed.

"Does this usually happen? Getting shoot at...?" Diego asked. You could see Diego is amused (and I too) while he's trying to avoid the bullets. Trucks of food supply has just arrived and they have poured a rain of warning shots, the regular way of preventing people from rushing to them. Now that's a way to fill your stomach!

After five wars and two Intifadas, the morning papers are still filled with stories about yet another act of violence act or suicide attack. And it's been going on like this for sixty years! Despite it all, our eternal optimist Diego Buñuel takes us on a behind-the-scenes journey through yet another region with a particularly bad reputation. We meet a lively cast of characters, including: Rashid, who prints the Martyrs of Gaza; Nadim, a Christian brewer in Muslim lands; Lucy, who rescues Palestinian donkeys; and Hamed and Nazim, Fatah rappers.
Diego meets two kinds of people - those who and those who continually strive to live in peace amidst the chaos.

Anyway, Diego Buñuel is indeed one hot guy! =p
