Lilian Mehrel is a filmmaker on a quest to cup the poetry of the world in the palm of her films. Her cinematic eye for storytelling developed as she studied literature at Dartmouth, worked for peace and diplomacy at Seeds of Peace and the U.S. Department of State, led film workshops to youth from conflicted countries in the Middle East, and founded an arts, leadership, and peace program in Tel Aviv-Yafo for diverse girls. As a Reynolds Fellow, she wrote and illustrated a 226-page family memoir.
