01
Citizen Shimon
Filmed with President of Shimon Peres of Israel and his choice of two Hollywood stars: Robert DeNiro and Kathleen Turner. Here with Kathleen at the Trump International Hotel in New York for the filming. Last documentary with the late President who narrates the history of modern Israel since the beginning when he was assisting David Ben-Gurion, Israeli politician, Zionist leader, prime minister of Israel (1886-1973)
02
The Kid from Detroit
Filmed with Kid Rock. Here with Sheryl Crow at her home. Mitt Romney was the other celebrity Kid pointed at to include in this documentary. Great choices. Both Sheryl and Mitt were fund to spend time with. We enjoyed it. It was also pleasant filming with Kid. Daphne interviewed long before. The Doc has footage from both filming.
03
Maestro at Home
Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie were the two musicians invited to become part of the documentary with Andrea Bocelli. Muhammed Ali and the Pope also made appearance in the documentary. They were not the only one. Even George Clooney appears breifly It is a great joy to learn about Andrea's mother and family values, all the while to listen him sing.
04
America's Son: JFK Jr
Filmed with 35 members of the Kennedy family, during their visit to New Ross, Ireland, commemorating 50th anniversary of the 33rd President of the US's paying visit to his heritage. Kennedys invited Daphne and Erbil to be part of their delegation. Erbil captured this very memorable look of Caroline, published in the Daily Mail in the UK. As for documentary, Daphne and Erbil dedicated it to JFK Jr's memories, telling little bit about his story.
