Where were you on February 15, 2003?  New film looks at modern day Peace 
Movement.

The Pumpkinhead Production Company in association with DreamHouse Cinema 
are pleased to announce the release of their documentary DVD, Think 
Peace: Portrait of a 21st Century Movement.  Filmed at the World Peace 
Forum held in Vancouver, British Columbia from June 23 - 28, 2006 the 
film examines the make up and direction of the peace movement in the 
21st century.

On February 15th, 2003 the largest protest in human history occurred. 
Millions of people from all seven continents marched down the street of 
more than 800 cities to show that they did not support the invasion of 
Iraq.  Yet even at the height of its power the movement was not able to 
stop the war. What went wrong?

This and other questions are explored in the film as we talk to such 
diverse people as Hans Blix, Rex Weyler, and Holly Near, among others. 
With over 40 citizen journalists participating in the project, over 120 
hours of footage were captured and distilled into a 55 minute film by 
director Corey Ogilvie of DreamHouse Cinema.  

In order to promote the film and celebrate "the other super power" that 
arose on February 15, 2003 we ask that you join us in celebrating the 
5th Anniversary of this amazing event by declaring that February 15th be 
know internationally as "Think Peace" Day

A portion of the profits from this project will go to assist the War 
Resisters Support Campaign in Canada and the Iraq Veterans Against War 
in the U.S.
