Director: Michael N. Nagler, Ph. D Producers: Steve Michelson, Tom Eddington
Description:
The Third Harmony tells the story of nonviolence through the
testimony of seasoned activists, including the highly dramatic story
of how women and children were recently saved from death by unarmed
international actors, part of a new institution in civilian
protection. We get a glimpse of the power of the force that Gandhi
called nonviolence, and its implications for a whole new “story”
of what it means to be a human being. What if people were as well
trained in waging peace as soldiers are in waging war?
