From New Zealand:
"Thanks so much for the DVD, and for the opportunity to show it here in New Zealand. The film night was a SUCCESS!!!! Full house (seated 85! Had to get the bean bags and couches out to fit extra people on the floor!). We raised $350 for Kauri 2000 (a non-profit organisation who plants native NZ trees around here) and raised $350 on the bar for the Monkey House Theatre which is a small community theatre in town. We had 4 speakers half way through the film (after time for drinks)., and they were very inspiring..one on climate change, one on peak oil, one on organic farming and one on sustainable living from a well respected green builder. In fact, they didn't talk on those subjects per say, but spoke from the heart about the oneness of us all, our community and the earth. Very kind, inspiring talks that left us moved!! |

From Erick in Venezuela (in Spanish and English):
Hi my name's Erick I'm from Venezuela and I have 19 years old. I'm going to write this in Spanish to express correctly what I want to meant. I hope that you can understand this.
(In English): I believe that global unity is an enormous challenge for humans, but a small achievement for humanity. I think that it is the duty of the mankind to change the ideological axes on which the old world has turned. These days, we could technically call ourselves ‘globalized’, but this globalization is grounded in individualism as a way of working together, and rivalry as a means of interrelating with other individuals, yielding a result of poverty, war, terrorism etc. |
