I've looked at a few of these now and I really recommend them. This particular one absolutely had me on the edge of my seat. Aharon is skateboarding around on the Palestinian/Israeli border, trying to innocuously work his way into no-man's-land and plant "community boxes" there, from what I can make out, and taking videos of his progress. The previous videos I've looked at have been kind of reflective in nature, but this one's a bit different: he gets too close to the Israeli border and someone stops him and demands to know what he's doing there. He hides his camera but records the whole conversation. He handles it brilliantly: the guy who has stopped him is really aggressive, but Aharon responds with disarming friendliness and cracks on that he doesn't know where he is and didn't know he was so close to the border, with the result that the other guy gradually relaxes. But it gives you a real insight into how edgy things are out there, how easily they can turn nasty if you put a foot wrong.
