Why should you attend this event? By all accounts, this movie is awesome. If this doesn’t provoke a conversation about how different cultures can retain their distinctive nature while contributing together to the creation of something better … what will?
So what’s going on at this event? Unscripted, with no story board; conversations with some of the most influential people of our era, from Noam Chomsky, Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra and Sir Bob Geldof, to Gabrielle Roth, Ram Das, Susan Sarandon and Billy Connolly; contributions come from unknown people just getting on with their lives, from a tribal woman in Africa to an ostracised gay man in America. The music was interwoven, beginning with a pre-composed backing track that then grew and developed as each layer was added by a different musician in a different part of the world. Featuring legends such as Michael Stipe, Alanis Morissette Maxi Jazz, Stewart Copeland and Carlos Santana, alongside African tribal and Bedouin musicians, Chinese rappers, Gabonese Pygmies and Tuvan throat singers.
