So: I have to say the musical journey What About Me offers viewers is extraordinary and it alone is worth making the effort to see the film. Even if you missed the first film, this follow up to the double Emmy-nominated 1 Giant Leap (2002) is even more remarkable for its music, production, subject matter and indie spirit in the vein of "spiritual cinema"

The production value is fantastic while each and every track both visually and audibly merges the creative infusions and talents of the known (e.g. Zap Mama, Lila Downs, Santana, Baba Maal, KD Lang, Stewart Copeland, Speech, Daniel Lanois, Krishna Das, etc..) with talents of an equally amazing collection of culturally disparate, unknown musicians including the Bibyak Pygmies and others from India, Native America, China, Brazil and global Hip Hop culture. The camera swings with the music and intertwines with the philosophies of the film's Intellectual stars to form a dialogue that speaks to the human condition in its media-bombarded zeitgeist.

Eckhart Tolle, Noam Chomsky, Ram Dass are some of the many of today's nu-edge thinkers behind the delivery of the film's memorable aphorisms and philisophical musings, all of which retain immediate and poignant relevance because they use today’s cultural vocabulary to provide a steadfast insight in to our quest for a better understanding of the human psyche.

After the second showing on saturday we will conclude the event with a dance!!

Hope you can make it out this weekend - please join us!
