Event Description
An inspiring documentary about the global movement called spiritual activism, Fierce Light resonates with the compassion and open-mindedness of its subject matter. Acclaimed director Velcrow Ripper (Scared Sacred) interviews many of the movement’s illustrious figures, including Alice Walker, John Lewis, Daryl Hannah, Thich Nhat Hahn, Desmond Tutu, Julia Butterfly Hill and Noah Levine. These passionate leaders speak about their commitment to making positive change in the world, a belief shared by thousands across the globe. Their remarkable stories are accompanied by Ripper’s vivid imagery in his inspirational discovery of sincere human effort, love and activism. Here is a trailer for the film:
