Alex Dower is currently (October '09) leading workshops in Beirut for teenagers from Palestinian refugee camps.

A major documentary was made of the project and will first be screened in Russia in December on the Zvezda channel.

In November he will be rehearsing with The Red Krayola and playing at the ICA in London. Their latest album will be released in Jan 2010.

Cassius Matthias' film 'Holler' in which Alex played a lead role, will also be released in Jan 2010.
