Description

In this episode of TSE's series Sacred Steps, we meet Sameer. Around his left wrist, he wears three strands of olive pits. He carved them into beads when he was a teenager, in prison, put there for throwing stones at Israeli soldiers. Since then, he’s had a weak stomach and more sleepless nights than he can count. When he can’t sleep, he plays one song to help him relax. It's a melody that inexplicably becomes a touchstone for peace.
