  “The world of environmental direct action has remained a secretive one, until now. “
  
  Just do It: A Tale of Modern Day Outlaws, is an adventure into the lives of everyday individuals, just like us, who decide to take social good into their own hands. This look into the world of social and environmental activism will inspire, entertain, and above all, empower.
  
  Retire the clichés of how you can be the change you want to see in the world…
  
  and Just Do It.
  
  They found their voices; so why cant we?

  Global Peace Film Festival is a great opportunity to see many great Independent movies, right here In Winter Park, and Orlando. Many Directors will be at the Festival as well. The movie that really caught my attention is Street Paper (http://streetpaperfilm.com/), directed by Christopher Roberts. It is a very moving story about, less fortunate homeless people turning their lives around and getting back on their feet, by selling Street Papers. A very moving story and a MUST see!

  1:00 PM Sat, Sep 22 Sun Trust Auditorium

  GO SEE!!!
  PARTY CRASHERS!
  GLOBAL PEACE FILM FESTIVAL!!
  An engaging look at the grass-roots movement that indelibly changed the landscape of American conservatism, Party Crashers offers a clear and balanced chronicle of the rise of The Tea Party. Founding members recount the movement's beginnings and how the resonance of a viral video and the power of social media led to the explosive growth of the first conservative protest movement of the internet age. The film also takes an in-depth look at the criticisms and controversies surrounding the movement. Hear from Sen. Rand Paul, Sharron Angle, Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi, the late Andrew Breitbart, Stephen Baldwin, authors Prof. Christopher Parker and Prof. Thaddeus Russell among others.

  Make sure and go see Bonsai People tonight at 6. It is sure to be a great movie about how one man gave out micro loans and helped turn it into 8 million dollars for use in third world countries.

  A film very worth checking out is Kinderblock 66: Return to Buchenwald. It is a documentary that follows the story of four men, who as boys were imprisoned in the Nazi Concentration camp Buchenwald. The film follows their life more than half a century later after their liberation. This film promises for an incredibly touching and eye opening journey for the viewer.

  Come out and watch the film Haiti: Land of Hope. This film will give you some interesting incite on the personal experiences of a journalist and his travels to Haiti. After this journalists first trip to Haiti he decided he would never go back and wanted to wipe the memories of Haiti out of his mind. When he decides to go back in 2010 after the earthquake he observes how all though this disaster caused so much harm it may have helped the country in some ways also. Come out tonight, September 19th, at 7:30 p.m. to the Winter Park Plaza located on 330 West Fairbanks or September 20th at the Winter Park Library and see this film.

  Roadmap to Apartheid
  
  “Roadmap to Apartheid explores in detail the apartheid comparison as it is used in the enduring Israel-Palestine conflict. As much an historical document of the rise and fall of apartheid, the film shows us why many Palestinians feel they are living in an apartheid system today, and why an increasing number of people around the world agree with them.”

  Why not head over the 2012 Global Peace Film Festival. This year it will be held in Winter Park and Downtown Orlando during 18th-23rd September. The main goal of this festival is to create change and its got some really fascinating movies lined up.

  A great film to check out is
  Tanzania - A Friendship Journey
  9/21/11 8:00pm at Rollins College Bush Auditorium
  or
  9/22/11 5:30pm at First Congressional Church of Winter Park
  
  
  Meet Venance Ndibalema, who was born into poverty in Tanzania but found a way out through a college education in the United States, and Kristen Kenny, an American raised by an upper-middle class family, as they undertake a transformational trip to Venance’s homeland. Their journey takes them from the urban center of Dar es Salaam, to the summit of mighty Mount Kilimanjaro and the sweltering plains of the Serengeti, and finally to the impoverished village where a grandmother waits to see the grandson she thought was lost to her forever. Along the way, cultural differences, disease, and a deadly illness threaten not only our travelers but the life of an innocent child. Two friends, one journey, countless lives changed.

  Of the wide variety of films being screened at the 9th Annual Global Peace Film Festival in Orlando, one film in particular caught my eye, titled “Off the Menu”. The film follows 24 students and a professor who dissect the topic of what we put into our bodies through research, personal narratives, and critical art, they interrogate body and food-related assumptions, stereotypes, attitudes, values, and practices. While also addressing the key issue of who is profiting off whose expense and which political and economic interests are being served by the ways people in the U.S. tend to relate to their own bodies, to others’ bodies, to eating, and to food as a whole.
  
  Overall Nutrition and Health and Wellness is definitely a hot topic issue and has been picking up steam ever since the massive growth of the organic/health food movement, promoting conscious decision making and knowledge of what we put into our bodies. I highly recommend attending one of the following screenings of the film if this is a topic you’re interested in or is already apart of your lifestyle.

  I am very glad to find this platform as I was researching and devoted everything to find an ultimate concept , which should be truly realistic, having sufficient scientific facts to believe in and should be acceptable by every community or religious followers of the world for global peace. And I have found it. Today, I have found many new followers interested in global human welfare as well as global peace to exchange my views. I am very thankful to the Global God today.
