PeaceJam Releases Film - "2012: The True Mayan Prophecy"

PeaceJam is excited to announce the release of a fascinating and funny new film, "2012: The True Mayan Prophecy."

The documentary, which was produced by PeaceJam co-founders Dawn Engle and Ivan Suvanjieff, debunks the myths that have arisen around the Mayan calendar and 2012, and shares some real wisdom about what we should all be doing today to create a better future.

"The Mayans are getting more and more ticked off by all of the people who are using 'The Mayans say that the world is going to end in 2012' to rake in billions of dollars," said Engle in an interview with Westword newspaper.

"2012: The True Mayan Prophecy" includes interviews with Nobel Peace Laureate and Maya Indian Rigoberta Menchú Tum, Mayan Elders, leading scientists, and other Nobel Laureates including Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama.

The Dalai Lama shares his concern that the current atmosphere of tension and fear is very dangerous for humanity.

The goal of the movie is to let the Maya speak for themselves, Engle said.

100% of the proceeds from this film will go to support the work of the PeaceJam Foundation, and especially programs for Mayan education and leadership training.

The movie is available for viewing with a $1.99 donation to PeaceJam and can be downloaded by CLICKING HERE.

I felt that the end of the film was very powerful -- especially the message of the Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu and Rigoberta Menchu Tum about caring for the earth and taking care of our health. I highly recommend this film!

So I tried to watch it and went through all the paypal stuff and then the page says "click here to watch movie" or something. So I click it and it takes me to a page where the only thing it says on it is "nope." How rude.

I'm excited to see the film. I've suggested it for a early 2012 programming on our campus, where some of our staff and students will remember having met Rigoberta when she was at Heartland PeaceJam. Jasmin--did you ever get to see it?

(Apologies to all for being so busy I haven't logged onto PJ.org in quite some time. I love keeping up with the discussions where I spend a lot of time--on Facebook.
