excerpt from the official movie site. ...

the journey of the film

early one morning, in april, 2002, a middle-aged father of three from
michigan suddenly awoke from a sound sleep, overcome by a strange
compulsion... to make a movie.

what made this so strange, is that he was not a film-maker. in fact,
he had no training, education or experience whatsoever in the field.
so, he immediately called his cousin and best friend to enlist their
help with the project. they eagerly agreed.

problem: they were not film-makers either.

no problem: about this time, the local pbs station had been airing a
series called the power of myth, featuring renowned american
philosopher joseph campbell (www.jcf.org) this program had a strong
impact...they did what campbell suggested and "followed their bliss."

the power of one: the original format for the movie was not initially
well defined. only that it would somehow involve asking a specific set
of questions to people from all walks of life to get many
perspectives, and this together with a mix of music and images would
tell a story.

what was well defined from the outset became the theme of the project:
we are all one. the energy of oneness would be the force to carry the day.
