Synopsis: Academy Award nominee James Cromwell plays an enlightened clerk who works in the admissions room for the afterlife. He is called on to guide an Israeli couple (Anna Khaja and Anthony Batarse), and a Palestinian (Oren Dayan), who go through admissions together because they have suffered similar tragic endings. As the details of their deaths and how their fates are intertwined become clear, the clerk attempts to teach them the wisdom required to find everlasting peace.

  
 
 
   

WORKSHOP CORE QUESTIONS

Is peace merely a utopian ideal or is it possible to achieve on earth? If hell is a nightmare that we have created for ourselves, what is the best way to wake up from it? What are problems caused by intolerance and closed-mindedness? Where do attack and condemnation come from? How can we stop the cycle of attack and counter attack?

 

STRATEGIES TO "BRING CHANGE HOME"
The Global Resolution for the Establishment of Infrastructures to Support the Culture of Peace initiative is gathering ONE BILLION signatures to create peace departments, infrastructures for peace and economies of peace in countries worldwide.
