The Wings of ChangeThis documentary depicts the role of birds in the eco-system of Israel, Jordan, and the West Bank.  It focuses on Israeli Professor Yossi Leshem, director of Israel’s International Center for the Study of Bird Migration, whose featured project with barn owls increases the bird population and decreases the need for harmful pesticides.  Through his charm, persuasive powers, and love of birds, Leshem is making progress toward the defense of nature and the peaceful co-existence of Israelis, Palestinians, and Jordanians.  This informative, upbeat film treats the viewer to engaging visuals of birds in their natural habitats.  Hebrew, Arabic, and English with English subtitles.   

53 minutes, followed by Q & A with CSUN Jewish Studies faculty.
