  • I live in Boston. Wasn't he living here for a portion of his youth?

  • @422brooke ..yes he did Brooke. in the clip you'll see 76 Tyler Street Boston where he lived with his family... look carefully and you can see the welcome lights on in the hall way ...

  • Can anyone tell me where I can find the music played in this video, or any music very much like it? It sounds wonderful.

  • Anouar Brahem is the artist.

  • Love the video but the tour guide is senile.He refers to Gibran's home as poor & "mutawadi3" when it's as quaint & unique as the most beautiful,little dream house anyone can imagine.Millions would give anything to own one like it nestled in the hills & blanketed w/snow.But that's not the point here.Can you imagine a boy running in these picturesque hills!It's because of this beauty & serenity that his spirit soared to such loftiness & poured out the most amazing novels & poetry man ever wrote.

  • I agree...but, I think Mr Rahme's comment (ex President of GKG Commitee) was more relative to GKG's time, not ours.

  • Gibrán!!!! te amo!!

  • The world has so much to learn from Kahlil Gibran. I'm grateful that I was able to learn from his writings and his wisdom. Thanks for sharing this documentary. I also produce documentaries, so I encourage you to continue this important project.

  • I see this video is more than 4 years old now. Did you progress on the documentary? Is there an updated version that we can watch somewhere? Are you still gathering information about Gibran? Maybe I can help, my grandmother was her cousin, and used to exchange letters with him. If you think this can be useful, please contact me at dtabach[at]gmail. com.

  • This man's words about God, love, life and death changed my life. It is such beautiful work. I especially enjoy the use of symbolism. I know that it is considered by many as purely poetical and not philosophical, however, it makes me wonder how anyone could read Gibran's book and come away with this conclusion.

  • I will learn more. I am new to his teaching, however , i allready feel asthough, his words should be shouted from the rooftops.

  • Years ago I met an elderly lady from Bsharri, Lebanon who was a distant cousin of Mr. Gibran, and she had very fond memories of his kindness, gentleness and deeply spiritual nature. When I told her that I had read his books many times, and loved his artwork, she smiled and said, " If you had met him, you would have loved him so much right away, he was a wonderful man, the way he wrote and painted was really and truly what he was inside." What marvelous gifts he had , genius and artless honesty.

  • I love you Gibran.

  • @vedato YES ... gubran is not an ordinaory writer .. he has affected my life and thoughs alot .. i luv gubran 2

  • wow i'm glad my name is the same as gubran's mother <3 "kamela " :D
