- Ziv Koren's photographs have become instantly recognizable icons that have helped shape our perception of the conflict in the Middle East. In "More Than 1000 Words" director Solo Avital followed Ziv over a two-year period, shooting in the heart of riots, terror attack scenes, secret meetings with wanted militants, all the way to Israel's pullout from Gaza. This movie, however, is not solely about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict; it is merely set in it. It is a movie about a man's struggle with a history in which he is involved, and the place he finds for himself in it. Like Ziv, it seeks the universal through the most personal; it asks how and why this man gets up in the morning to leave his wife and daughter for a war zone. The movie does not only seek history through the photographer's lens but also the photographer through the lens of history.
