“Walking With Alfred Hassler, Thich Nhat Hanh and Sister Chan Khong”
- A feature documentary film and 3D animated comic book about normal people who became Nonviolent Super Heroes
“Life waits patiently for true heroes. It is dangerous when those aspiring to be heroes cannot wait until they find themselves. When aspiring heroes have not found themselves, they are tempted to borrow the world’s weapons-money, fame, and power – to fight their battles. These weapons cannot protect the inner life of the hero.” -Thich Nhat Hanh
Peace Is The Way – A Century Of Nonviolent Action - the film series chronicles the interconnected stories of normal people, who became nonviolent beacons of light. These visionary, yet unsung Heroes used creativity, compassion, humour and nonviolent action as their “weapons”, helping to build global movements toward peace and reconciliation.
Our first film in the Peace is the Way series, “Walking with Alfred Hassler, Thich Nhat Hanh and Sister Chan Khong,” will reveal our superheroes’ interconnected and personal stories, taking you on a journey from their first meeting in war-torn Vietnam to the “Arab Spring” and Tahir Square, Eqypt, where Alfred’s ideas within the Martin Luther King comic book in 1956 have now been used again in 2011, inspiring others in their contemporary quest for social change through nonviolent action.
