ONE, a beautiful documentary on oneness

Daiva Nata · Nov 8th, 2006, 23:35

Hi All,

This is such a beautiful documentary. I have a copy and it made me cry out of the sheer beauty of our world’s diversity. It is such a powerful film. It gives me chills, just watching the trailer again.

Trailer: http://onetheproject.com/index.php?o...d=24&Itemid=47

Basically, they went around the world, asking folks from every walk of life (and religion) the same 20 questions….from Thich Nhat Hanh and Ram Dass to a street kid in Colorado and an athiest.

This film does NOT tout any one idea or way of looking at things. Instead, it shows the diversity of us all and in a simplistic way, shows that we although we may look different, have different cultures, different beliefs and different lifestyles, we are still all one.

Deepak Chopra, Ram Dass, Thich Nhat Hanh, Father Thomas Keating, Barbara Marx-Hubbard, Riane Eisler, Robert Thurman, Sadhguru Jaggi Vadsudev, The voice of his Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and many more...

The 20 Questions:

1. Why is there poverty and suffering in the world?
2. What is the relationship between science and religion?
3. Why are so many people depressed?
4. What are we all so afraid of?
5. When is war justifiable?
6. How would God want us to respond to aggression and terrorism?
7. How does one obtain true peace?
8. What does it mean to live in the present moment?
9. What is our greatest distraction?
10. Is current religion serving its purpose?
11. What happens to you after you die?
12. Describe Heaven and how to get there.
13. What is the meaning of life?
14. Describe God.
15. What is the greatest quality humans possess?
16. What is it that prevents people from living to their full potential?
17. Non-verbally, by motion or gesture only, act out what you believe to be the current condition of the world.
18. What is your one wish for the world?
19. What is wisdom, and how do we gain it?
20. Are we all One?

Looks like a good documentary, must rent it or something! If I answered all those 20 questions, it'd take me forever.

I don't know if it's available for rent...but you can buy the DVD at the website. It's definitely one of those movies that you will want to make everyone watch. Hehe...I know that I do. : )

Thank you for that site. The film looks wonderful. Yesterday I passed it along to someone in Sun Valley, Idaho (where I live) who is one of the founders of the Sun Valley Spiritual Film Festival. Maybe it can be a part of next years festival.

Wonderful. So glad you did that.

Yes, I think this is a very small production (the guy did it with a home video camera I think), so it isn't getting the marketing and props it should. I really haven't seen anything about it, except for a friend passed it on. I hope more people take pro action like you (and me! I've been putting it on a few forums I belong to)...so that more people get to see it!
