What is fierce light?
FIERCE LIGHT: WHEN SPIRIT MEETS ACTION is a ground breaking feature documentary from the critically acclaimed filmmakers who brought us ScaredSacred, and The Corporation.
Fueled by the belief that another world is possible, Velcrow Ripper takes us on a global journey tracing spiritual activism's historical roots and capturing the powerful personalities that are igniting a new wave of compassionate action around the globe.
FIERCE LIGHT is the story of a human sunrise, of ‘warriors of the heart’ that show us what is possible when human beings are at their absolute best.
Gandhi called it 'Soul Force'
Martin Luther King Jr. called it 'Love in Action'
we're calling it FIERCE LIGHT.
Featuring Visionary Buddhist Monk, Thich Nhat Hahn; Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Archbishop Desmond Tutu; Pulitzer Prize Winning Author, Alice Walker; Famed Tree-Sitter, Julia Butterfly Hill; and Hollywood celebrity turned activist, Daryl Hannah.
