DC Premiere: One Peace At A Time
The film follows director Turk Pipkin's five-continent, two-year search for a better way ahead. Pipkin sought the answer to one basic question: Can we provide basic rights - water, nutrition, education, healthcare and a sustainable and peaceful environment - to every child on earth? The solutions Pipkin chronicles include Ethiopian water projects with A Glimmer of Hope, education solutions with The Hole in the Wall and other innovative programs and the model Indian orphanages of The Miracle Foundation. Caroline Boudreaux, founder of the The Miracle Foundation, is a principal honoree of the DC screening. Congressman Lloyd Doggett - also an honoree for the GW premiere - will participate in a Q & A with Begala and Pipkin following the screening. In the film, Congressman Doggett's look at the possibility of the U.S. signing the International Treaty to Ban Cluster Munitions, and discuss the responsibilities and possibilities of achieving change by working with your elected officials. One Peace at a Time is Pipkin's sequel to his acclaimed documentary Nobelity, which Esquire Magazine called, "Nine ways to save the World." While Nobelity looked at problems through the eyes of nine Nobel laureates, the new movie focuses on solutions that every person can be a part of. "I received a tremendous response after the Austin Premiere," says Pipkin. "People who'd seen the film were inspired to pick an issue and do their part. Some have become lenders on Kiva.org; some are donating rice to the World Food Program by playing FreeRice.com, and many, many others are joining with The Nobelity Project to build a High School in Kenya." The film is produced by the Nobelity Project, a 501c3 nonprofit working for a more peaceful and sustainable world. Proceeds from the film support the Nobelity in Schools education program and the nonprofit's development work in Kenya, Ethiopia and elsewhere. About the Director:
