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.
