ABOUT THE FILM:

 

What do poetry and revolution have in common? How does one find a moment of relief in a warzone, an opportunity to dance in a burning room, or a reason to risk everything for a future you may never know or a person you may never meet? It all has to do with empathy; the ability to comprehend another’s point of view, and find hope or reason, in the most severe circumstances. 

 

This month’s perspective is about empathy. It's about encouraging people to step into the shoes of “Us” and “Them” during a time of political unrest. To see how and why people bind together and what they choose to preserve and to lose. We also encourage viewers to learn more about the world around them, the countries in which we are inherently connected.
