Societal change can only begin with personal change. How
can we deal with our own darkness and find peace within
and bring that out to our world? What are the effective
ways to achieve a healing among people to foster a sustainable
world? And finally we must pose ourslves the quintessential
questions for our lives. Who are we and where are we going?
What are our priorities?
These quintessential questions will be interwoven with
a visually striking cornucopia of the faces of humanity,
all races, and cultural traditions performing the rituals
that mark the passages of our lives -- we are all born,
marry, have children, and die. Captivated in the rhythms
of dance and music, in the throes of pain, war, and destruction,
and in celebration and awe of life and the earth as we know
it today. Can we glean the essence of our shared hopes,
for our children and for our dreams of our future, and in
the process discover our common humanity? Can a change in
perception help us create a world that can nourish us all?
People do change. Humanity changes. The question for the
new millennium is, of course, are we, humanity as a whole,
ready to change?
