Free Viewing of 'FIERCE LIGHT '
From the Film Maker:The 2006 murder of friend and fellow media-activist
Brad Will in protest-torn Oaxaca, Mexico, is the impetus
for Ripper's journey, which takes him to the flash points
of spiritual activism around the world, including Montgomery,
Alabama; Robben Island, South Africa; Andrah, India;
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; and South Central Los Angeles,
where a months-long protest against the razing of a vital
community garden provides a highly dramatic spine for the
wide-ranging film. En route, Ripper encounters a number
of eloquent icons, including American Civil Rights legend
Congressman John Lewis, actor turned activist Daryl Hannah,
Nobel prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Pulitzer Prize
Winning Author Alice Walker, Buddhist peace activist monk
Thich Nhat Hahn, famed tree sitter Julia Butterfly Hill, and
dharma punk, Noah Levine. Ripper takes an insightful and
inspirational look at change motivated by love. Called "soul force"
by Gandhi and "love in action" by Martin Luther King, spiritual
activism's roots are examined and illustrated by interviews and
stories from around the globe.
