Our film covered a lot of ground in a short time but people always ask us why we didn’t go here or didn’t go there. With so many events happening at the same time it was difficult to make choices and in the end we followed our beloved protagonist Ken and told his story of activism and pride.
We still wish we could have covered more and maybe if we do a sequel we will. In the meantime, here’s some recent footage from Pride in Tel Aviv, Isreal, which just happened today.

Enjoy!
Tel Aviv, the most liberal city in the Middle-East (and some say, the world), celebrated Pride today, with a parade through the city streets and a huge beach party. Numbers for this year’s pride have surpassed all previous years with around 100,000 people taking part, including an estimated 20,000 foreigners.
I was at Tel Aviv Pride last year, and I can honestly say this is one of the best Prides in the world! The people are friendly and welcoming, the guys are fun, friendly and hot! Here’s a selection of videos from today, and links to our Tel Aviv Gay Guide:
