Episode: Heart of Jenin

When a Palestinian boy was killed by Israeli soldiers who mistook his toy gun for the real thing, his death could have been just one news story. Instead, Ahmed's parents decision to donate his organs turned tragedy into hope for six Israelis. Heart of Jenin tells the story of Ahmed's tragic death and his father Ismael's journey to visit three of the organ recipients two years later.
