Harvey Stein (director, producer) is an American-Israeli documentary filmmaker/director originally from New York City. He now lives in Jerusalem, where his impact film company, Jerusalem New York Productions (http://www.jerusalemny.com) is based. His current feature documentary project, "Green Rebel"<due to be finished in Spring, 2021> is about the activities of Yossi Abramowitz, an American-Israeli solar energy visionary. Abramowitz's company built the first commercial scale solar field in Israel in 2011, then the first commercial solar field in East Africa, in Rwanda, in 2015 <six hundred million Africans have no access to electricity>. His second African field <and the main plot arc of "Green Rebel">, after five years of struggle, is due to be launched in Burundi in early 2021. Our story focuses on Abramowitz's difficult path of trying to integrate his dual passions for healing the world, and for using risky, business chutzpah.
