i started this blog, thinking that maybe it would help streamline communications for those of us working on specific projects that i direct. also, i am interested in keeping up with our process: how we interact, what themes and issues arise for us; how we grow within this project; and how we're inspired by ideas, images, and by one another. a document for posterity. to remind me what worked and why.

You know all the facts and statistics about police brutality in this country, or at least you should. Heck's film is an enraged outcry in response to these tragically growing numbers, but it also lays out a daringly and atypically hopeful vision, centered around an issue that merits at least three-and-a-half minutes of your undivided time and an inestimable amount of your ongoing consideration.

What is "Soul Force"?
SOUL Force
Soul Force was originally used by M.K. Gandhi, as a part of “Satyagraha” or reliance on Soul Force. This was a philosophy brought about from the teachings of Jesus. Gandhi used Soul Force during the Indian peoples movement to transform their society through a peaceful means.
Next, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., used Soul Force as part of his nonviolent philosophy as he sought to help lead the African American people toward freedom. He even mentioned this term in the “I Have A Dream” speech:
