Itai is an award winning Israeli correspondent and documentary filmmaker - famous for his intelligent & thought provoking coverage of conflict zones around the world.
For the past 30 years, Itai has been risking his life to bring us the human stories from the most dangerous places on earth.
As an Israeli journalist - entering into countries like Syria, Iran and even the region of Gaza many of his contemporaries would call CRAZY - but Itai thinks he’s the normal one.
Itai’s cool approach in the field has led to UNBELIEVABLE moments like interviewing captured ISIS members - pinning lapel mics onto their collars as they sat blindfolded with their hands tied behind their backs.
This man has had more spine chilling encounters in the past three decades, than many humans would be able to digest in their lifetime.
And the impact of his coverage has led to humanitarian missions and charity drives which have changed people’s lives.
What can we learn from Ita about overcoming fear, maintaining humility and staying connected to our own humanity?
This story is about how we keep our hearts open after witnessing so much cruelty and pain…
How we can process the atrocities we encounter… how we can highlight what is working without ignoring what’s not…
and it’s about the heroes that Itai has discovered unintentionally shining their light in some of the darkest places on the planet.
