Peace Fighters #video#Israel Rami Elhanan is an Israeli army veteran who fought in three wars. First, he lost friends in the Yom Kippur War in 1973. Then he lost his only daughter in a suicide bombing by Palestinian terrorists in 1997. After that, anger and the urge for revenge led to dialogue about reconciliation to stop the violence and retaliation on both sides. Rami has since dedicated himself to advocating peace between Israelis and Arabs. He’s convinced it’s the only way to secure lasting peace in the region. On November 29, 1947, the UN voted to split Palestine into Jewish and Arab states, leading to the creation of Israel in 1948. Since then, Israel has fought eight wars with Arab neighbours and witnessed almost daily tension with Palestinians. There have been 11 attempts at peace, but they haven’t solved one of the world’s longest-running conflicts so far. You can watch the inspiring testimony of Rami and other Israeli activists in our documentary here. Follow: https://t.me/rtdocumentary

French Gypsies vs immigrant Gypsies #video#France In France, Gypsies are known as the ‘gens du voyage’, or 'the people who travel'. The term was coined in an effort to fight anti-Gypsy prejudice. “I think our community is the most hated in the world,” says Henoc Cortes Lopez, a French Gypsy rapper. French Gypsies also fear their traditional nomadic lifestyle is being threatened. In 2018, France passed a law that prohibits spontaneous encampments. An influx of Romas from Eastern Europe has proved to be another headache for French ‘gens du voyage’. They say newcomers seeking refugee status and welfare rights are only feeding into the anti-Gypsy stereotype. Are their worries justified?

The church that Don Justo built #video#Spain For 60 years, Justo Gallego Martinez has been building his own cathedral. He’s 96 years old and has devoted most of his life to the DIY church. According to Don Justo, he’s had no blueprint or even drawings in mind. He’s been relying on proportions and intuition. Materials he uses in the construction are scavenged or donated. That’s why it’s sometimes called a ‘garbage cathedral’. Some consider Don Justo a saint, others say he’s crazy. He started the construction after tuberculosis forced him to leave a Trappist order. The former monk has since devoted his life and much of a family inheritance to the cathedral. He’s never been married and eventually fell out with his relatives. Don Justo’s cathedral won’t be completed during his lifetime. And its future is uncertain since the creator has never building approval from the city authorities. Make sure you check out Don Justo’s chaotic, yet impressive work in our documentary. Follow: https://t.me/rtdocumentary
