DIRECTOR STATEMENT :  
Over seven years ago I started an artistic venture of interviewing extraordinary artists and leaders on specific questions that are at the core of human fulfillment: Love, Intimacy, Heaven, Hell, God, Religions, and the Purpose of Life.  Many of these candid interviews are the only ones ever recorded and a few of these individuals have now passed away.

What resulted was over one hundred hours of in-depth study of the human condition.  The interviews are filled with moments of self reflection, cognitive authority, insight, laughter, tenderness, tears, authenticity and joy.

After over one thousand hours of dissecting these recorded discussions, I wove these interviews into a dialogue that reveals the elements of consciousness and personal responsibility that are required to perpetuate widespread human joy.  I funded every dollar of this film solely and with only one agenda; to spread compassion and drive consciousness evolution - to bring people together.

With even the smallest amount of support you are taking part in both the distribution of love and the making of the 2nd installment of this film:~)

I hope you can help me share it with someone,
Sebastian
