Update #2: Things are coming together fast ! !
Thanks to you guys, things are working out GREAT!
We've nearly doubled our pledges since the last update, now we've got to make it to the Mid-Point, $2,500. From there, it's all down hill ! !
In the past few weeks, we've all read in the papers about the BP workers on the Gulf of Mexico, they've agreed to tell the truth after years of protecting their employers. If they wold have spoken out earlier, things would have looked very, very different on the Gulf of Mexico today.
Your contributions are giving a voice to the workers down on the Dead Sea today. We visit them all the time, even when we're not shooting. It's time for them to speak out, and they're really counting on us.
Were making a difference, and were doing it RIGHT NOW.
Let's see if we can make it together to $2,500 in the next few days. If each one of us can get 2 people we know to back the project, I bet we could make it there in no time.
I've added another little video from our recent footage, just to show you a little bit of what's happening on the Dead Sea and how close we are to losing it.
Let's see if we can get 2 people each by the weekend ! See you soon, next update at $2,500.
Sol and Hilla.
Update #1: This is what it's all about
We've been doing GREAT ! We're up for ten days and the project has raised SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS ! !
Here's another video we just made, to give you guys a little more of a feel for what's going on far away in the middle of the dessert, at the bottom of the world.
Thanks a lot guys, your support means THE WORLD to us. Spread the word to everyone who cares so we can make it together to our goal in 35 days.
Keep up the good work and Stay in Touch !

I understand that the Dead Sea is fed primarily by the Yarden, and since Yam Kinneret is so low, there has been little water let out to replenish the Dead Sea. So, we really need lots of rain to fill the Kineret so the sluice gates can be opened. Assuming that that is correct, the only alternative, that I've read several times, is of proposals to conduct water from the Med or the Red Sea to the Dead Sea, with the dual purpose of hydroelectric power from the energy of the water going downhill, and secondarily replenishing the Dead Sea. Is that what you are proposing? I think they call it the Med-Dead conduit, or else the Red-Dead conduit. What other solution is there? It would be great if the response could be sent to shmuel.wolk@gmail.com
