Escape Fire - www.escaprefiremovie.com
I AM - Produced and directed by the creator of Ace Ventura; Liar, Liar; Bruce, Almighty, etc, this documentary seeks to answer 2 questions - 1) what is wrong with the world?; and 2) how can we fix it? It's an exploration into age-old beliefs. Take-home point: We, as humans, are NOT hard wired for greed or even for survival of fittest. We are, on the other hand, hard-wired for love, sympathy and compassion. Amazingly insightful!
