I'm very, very honored for this award, the Impact Voices of Courage and Conscience Media Award. There was, however, very little courage and one would hope an ordinary amount of conscience at work in producing our Israel-Palestine episode of Parks I Know. I was enormously grateful for the response from Palestinians in particular for doing what seemed to me an ordinary thing. Something we do all the time show regular people doing everyday things. Looking and enjoying meals, playing with their children, talking about their lives, their hopes, and dreams. It is a measure, I guess, of how twisted and shallow our depiction of a people is that these images come as a shock to so many. The world has visited many terrible things on the Palestinian people, none more shameful than robbing them of their basic humanity. People are not statistics. That is all we attempted to show. A small, pathetically small step towards understanding. To be recognized in this way means a lot to me and to all of us who worked on the show. And for that, I thank you for the bottom of my heart. Thanks.
