One:  The Movie
-forwarded from Karen Arndorfer

This movie was made by Chad Munce from Williamston, his cousin Ward, and a friend (all from Michigan) after Ward had a dream about making such a movie which focuses on asking the spiritual questions we all wonder about. Some  of the questions include, "What happens to you after you die?," "What is  the meaning of life?," and "What are we all so afraid of?"   The filmmakers interviewed fundamentalist Christians, attendees at an atheist convention, Sufis,  Buddhists, and Christian theologians.  Interviews include Deepok Chopra, Fr. Thomas Keating, Riane Eisler, and Thich Nhat Hanh.
