Peace Angels - first steps - Trailer

The "Peace Angels - first steps" documentary (version 1 = 26 minutes) closely follows the creation of a ceremonial event held in Sydney on 25 September 2011, as part of a week of celebrations for the International Day of Peace on September 21. A dramatic "rain or shine" adventure... it was touch and go if the event would go on. We go behind-the-scenes and witness the intense rehearsal process and the personal development leading up to the event. It was conceived and led by the artistic director, Antoinette Sampson with many collaborators. The spectacular climax in Hyde Park features numerous speakers and singers, as well as the many Peace Angels, in illuminated costumes, performing sacred ritual dances. It culminated in a multi-faith celebration of Unity to anchor and celebrate Peace. Counterpoint to the wars and economic stress of life today, this program aims to lift audiences' hearts, and offer messages of peace, hope and joy. It was a labour of love for all involved. Produced and directed by Michael Ney, with co-producer Tim Maddocks. Original music by Max Lambert is highlighted in the event, along with live multicultural songs.
