SEPT. 25 | Monterey Media’s Nov. 4 release of the documentary Whaledreamers (prebook Oct. 7; DVD $19.95) will serve as the focal point for the 2nd Annual Weekend of Unity and Peace, a collection of grassroots gatherings to raise awareness for environmental and social justice concerns.
Featuring the music of Julian Lennon, Whaledreamers explores the spiritual connection between whales, dolphins and humans. The film won Best Documentary at the Toronto Film Festival.
This year’s Weekend of Unity and Peace events are set for Oct. 24-26. Monterey managing partner Jere Rae-Mansfield said the company is expecting the support of a number of conservation groups including Greenpeace, Global Green, Climate Friendly, IFAW and Save the Whales.
“My goal was to use a film every year to help the people across the United States to have some kind of catalyst that would focus them on the goals of unity and peace,” Rae-Mansfield said. “Whaledreamers is exactly what we were looking for in that film—it’s not preachy, but it shares the awe and inspiration that we should all have for Mother Nature.”
