		Culture Wrap connects you to the world through cinema.

	We produce, distribute and support entertaining media projects that aim to improve cross-cultural relations. We combine movies with charitable projects around the world. We connect film audiences to the people and projects from the cultures they watch on screen. As we connect to others, we connect to ourselves.

	Then choose a project or person from the culture you’re interested in and help them improve their life. You can donate funds, sponsor the education of a student, young or old, support in-kind or just express your interest in their lives. Culture Wrap connects you to the world.

	World Class Kids

	Israel By Netta Leovy


	Magical documentary, where an Arab, a Jew, a Chinese, and a Philippine are just a few of the diverse classroom students. With poignant intuition and uninhibited directness unique to eight-year-olds, the children point out basic conflicts in Israeli society, deal with painful identity issues, and experience the first cracks in their childhood innocence.


	USA __ San Francisco July 24- August 9


	Join Filmmakers—including Ronit Avni (Budrus) and Lisa Gossels (My So Called Enemy)—and experts in civic engagement—including Ari Y. Kelman, Associate Professor of American Studies, UC Davis—to discuss the role (and perhaps limits) of Film to foster constructive dialogue about potentially difficult topics.


	SOUTH AFRICA _ Durban July 22 - August 1


	BOSNIA and HERZEGOVINA __ Sarajevo July 23 - 31





		Sarajevo Film Festival Presents: Morgan Freeman Guest of Honour of 16th SFF Sarajevo Film Festival announced its 16th edition Guest of Honour, the highly acclaimed Academy Award winning actor, Morgan Freeman.

	cinema & contribute


	You can support the children by buying the 2 Disc Special Edition DVD.

An essential part of making this film, for the film makers, is to raise awareness and continued funding for housing and education for the children depicted in the film. EMS FILMS has individually dedicated a percentage of the film's world wide-revenue's to support the construction of the new school and sustained social work of the principals of The Golden Horse Temple and their community of orphans. Watch the trailer.
