march from hamra to egyptian embassy friday 1/2/09 (photos by Nate George)

Nate George is a former student and a filmmaker who is in graduate school at AUB in Beirut now. If you click on his name under the label below, you can read more about him. (Scroll down to read about his work as an undergraduate student.) If you click here and look at the 3rd entry, you can download his documentary film, The Patch, which exposes the frequency of false positive results with PharmChem “PharmChek” sweat patches. Trace amounts of cocaine found in the environment in many parts of the U.S. can land someone who hasn't used cocaine in Federal Prison. Nate made this film as an undergraduate student. I really like Nate's dad a whole lot too. He is a very sensitive and gentle person. So Nate's film Chloe From 3 to 5 am, which he also made as an undergraduate, always makes me cry. You can watch it here. But here's Nate's warning:WARNING: Contains an intense death scene. This video chronicles the last hours of the filmmaker's miniature schnauzer, Chloe. The filmmaker and his father must decide what is best for the dog- whether there is still valuable life yet to be lived or to end it before it gets much worse.The following are more recent photos Nate sent from Lebanon.
