Oren Ginzburg
Oren Ginzburg is the founder of Hungry Man Books and the author of several books. His most famous book - now a short film - There You Go!, was published by Survival International in 2006 and is considered a reference on the fate of tribal people facing "development". The book received excellent reviews from - among others - Mary Robinson, Desmond Tutu, and Tony Blair, and continues to be featured in international press - most recently in The Hindu (2011) and Open (2011). The book was adapted into a music show by Philippe Kadosh (BabelEyes, 2011).
