Not In God’s Name – In Search of Tolerance with The Dalai Lama – now on DVD

parfil — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 06:21:28 +0000

Currently, religious fanaticism is on the rise worldwide. Director Paula Fouce ventures into the madrassas, religious schools, and meets moderate Muslims as well as hard-liners. NOT IN GOD’S NAME traces the three reasons for religious extremism. The solutions to hatred in the name of God are laid out by His Holiness Dalai Lama.

Trapped in religious riots in Delhi, filmmaker Paula Fouce follows the Dalai Lama on a journey to understand religious intolerance. NOT IN GOD’S NAME shows how the world is ravaged by extreme divisions between religions. We examine the similar values of all faiths, and their potential for drawing us together to share a common ground. Featuring Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, Robert Thurman Ph. D., Joseph Prabhu Ph. D., Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji, Dr. Karan Singh, Ph. D., Georg Feuerstein, Ph. D., Michael Bernard Beckwith, and leaders of many faiths.

SONG OF THE DUNES – NEW FILM

parfil — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 07:02:20 +0000

Paula Fouce is completing SONG OF THE DUNES. The crew was amazed to
find the caste system alive and well in 2008, although it was outlawed
in 1947. The film is an amazing tribute to the Untouchable musicians of
Rajasthan. Their spirit is kept alive through music.

More details about the film can be found at www.songofthedunes.com.

If Red China wants to show a good face to the world, why don’t they seize this opportunity and meet with the Dalai Lama? Best PR they could get.
