2 Million Minutes, 2007, DVD, 55 minutes
This film takes a deeper look at how the six students
spend their high school careers, equaling about 2 million
minutes. Two students each from China, India and the

regarding chronically low scores in math and science
indicators.

This film narrates the lives of those who have journeyed
from Lebanon to North Carolina and labored here to
build new homes, raise families and enrich the state with
their culture and hard work. It tells of a legacy that is as
much about great accomplishments as it rests in the quiet
and unassuming. A singular doctor in a small mountain
town or a car mechanic at a Piedmont crossroads become
vital threads in the fabric of this state: Lebanese cedars
among the pines of North Carolina.

interwoven in the life stories of two large-than-life
figures, Ariel Sharon and Yasser Arafat. While one has
spent his life fighting to create the state of Israel, the

examines the Israeli-Palestine conflict through the
personalities of Sharon and Arafat.

minutes, The Discovery Channel

both sides.
