Adam Shapiro is a documentary filmmaker, human rights activist and Palestinian rights activist. His latest film is a documentary series on Palestinian refugees all over the world called “Chronicles of a Refugee,” which was broadcast on Al-Jazeera Documentary Channel in May 2009. Adam and a colleague are working in an independent effort to help find durable solutions for the Palestinian refugees of Iraq, who are currently trapped in refugee camps on the border of Iraq and Syria. He served as Country Director in Afghanistan from 2005-2006 for the internationally renowned human rights organization Global Rights.

Adam holds a MA in Politics from New York University and a MA in Arab Studies from Georgetown University. In Palestine, Adam was a co-founder of the International Solidarity Movement and lived and worked in the Occupied Palestinian Territories for three years.

He will show episode 5 "The Talk of Return" of the series, which focuses on the issue of return and the efforts that palestinians have made over the years at various levels to achieve return (PLO, civil society, villages, individuals).
