AHIMSA - EMBRACING PEACE

In 2015 I produced my first full-feature documentary, called Anicca - embracing change. Anicca was financed in part through a successful crowdfunding campaign, making it possible that thousands of viewers were inspired to have a healthier relationship with change.

AHIMSA is the sequel to Anicca - this time it's not about change, but about peace. I started working on the film in January 2022. When the situation in Ukraine escalated in February, a few people approached me saying what a coincidence it was that I do a film about peace. I must have anticipated it, they said. The truth, however, has nothing to do with coincidence. The reason I wanted to make a film about peace is because, for as long as I can remember, there's always been some armed conflict going on somewhere in the world. And in my everyday life, I also encounter many moments that aren't peaceful at all. I'm not fully peaceful - so how can I expect a peaceful world? Therefore, the aim of this film is to inspire us to become more peaceful beings.

As with Anicca, I will need help. Even though the costs of making films has greatly decreased over the last two decades, producing a full-feature documentary is still expensive. Travel expenses, several months of editing, costs for music and translations - the list is long. So if you can and want to support AHIMSA, it would be really highly appreciated. And you will get something in exchange too!
