Further on "I AM, the Dcoumentary"
Wanted to share the link to the "Press Kit" for the Documentary "I AM", one worth seeing. This link provides a write up of the movie, and the curriculum and photos of those interviewed, and of those that made the work. Neat!
Allow me to share a clip from the link:

"Shadyac‟s enthusiastic depiction of the brighter side of human nature and reality, itself, is what distinguishes I AM from so many well-intentioned, yet ultimately pessimistic, non-fiction films. And while he does explore what‟s wrong with the world, the film‟s overwhelming emphasis is focused on what we can do to make it better. Watching I AM is ultimately, for many, a transformative experience, yet Shadyac is reluctant to give specific steps for viewers who have been energized by the film. “What can I do?” “I get asked that a lot,” he says. “But the solution begins with a deeper transformation that must occur in each of us. I AM isn‟t as much about what you can do, as who you can be. And from that transformation of being, action will naturally follow.”
Neat, no? Can't wait to see it again, and share in a discussion of it with friends.
