Episode 25: Matan Hamam x2
I talk with director Matan Hamam about the power of art in a time of war in Israel.
This was never meant to be a current events episode; it was supposed to be a joyful celebration of wrapping filming on GEVER. But that's not what happened.
Matan gives his perspective on current events and what he learned in the process of filming GEVER. Previously, he joined me in episode 1.
This episode couldn't be more timely and more important.
