Just about everybody loves a good movie–a movie that makes them laugh or cry or feel inspired or want to become engaged. This week, Engaging Peace will feature three short (about 5-6 minutes!) films that “tell it like it is” quietly, movingly, engagingly.
These three films, starting with “Block this caller!” (we’ve all wanted to do that now and then, right?) were created by award-winning filmmaker, director, actor Jonny Lewis to to convey his message regarding “the horror and stupidity of war.” Jonny has won 7 awards as a filmmaker for his antiwar comedy shorts, which were screened at the 2018 Veterans for Peace national convention. He was recently honored as a role model for peace by the US Peace Memorial Foundation, which publishes the U.S. Peace Registry.
Thanks and a tip of the hat to Michael D. Knox and Alice LoCicero for introducing me to Jonny Lewis’s work.
Note from Kathie MM: Pegean says, “I’m with those guys. They got it right: Just say No to the war mongers, and we’ll all sleep better.”
And another request from KMM: Please send comments on the videos, and tell us, What will help you sleep better?
