As part of that, I got the idea of establishing a film institute, which is now part of an institute of modern media trying to train Palestinians. Over the past three years, every single Palestinian we've trained is now working. We've had at least 50 people who've gone through the training courses. They're working now in the local media, for international media. The yearning for democracy is so overwhelming today.
People are really thirsty for democracy.
They have seen democracy in action. Television and Internet have broken all the barriers and people are seeing other people, whether it is people across the political border or across the continent. People's lives are being changed because they're seeing debates and arguments going on. And that is opening up all kinds of situations. In Palestine, we have 21 local private TV stations and five radio stations.
