Worth a Look

Volition (n)- The act of making a choice. Sometimes the choice of inaction has consequences stronger than we could ever imagine. Throughout history, men have been faced with difficult choices in a world that makes it easy for them to conform. This film explores the hope that lies behind every decision made in the face of adversity; the hope that is buried in the heart of those that look beyond themselves and see something bigger worth fighting for.

The video would not load, so here is the link: Volition - a film of Hope by Tim and Matthew Morgan

Doorpost Film Project: Doorpost Film Project is an online community of independent filmakers existing to encourage truth-seeking visionaries by honoring their creativity as filmmakers, serving them in the context of building community and sharing their discoveries with the world so that others may have hope.

I have only watched this one video, and found it disturbing -- in the parallels that it draws between three different historical events. This was disturbing in a good-way though, since it draws out a truth about what is happening among us now. Violence and graphic content are not found in this film, but hopefully a different way of seeing and assessing the world.
