Watts Up! Demaria's
Journey relates not only Demaria's transformation but how Demaria's conversations with
many of the global conference participants changes them - inspiring them to deepen their
own understanding. The film insightfully shares conversations between Demaria and many of
the world's greatest minds-peace builders, scientists, poets, scholars, activists,
artists, and world leaders-during the Quest for Global Healing Conference in Bali, as well
as conversations conducted upon Demaria's return to the United States to deepen his own
transformation. Such conversations include:
¨ Archbishop Desmond Tutu
¨ Apollo 14 astronaut and Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) founder Edgar Mitchell
¨ Lynne Twist, founder of the Hunger Project and co-founder of the Pachamama Alliance
¨ Celebrated international human rights advocate, musician, and Cambodian Killing Fields
survivor, Arn
Chorn Pond
In today's world with all too few documented examples of young people setting out to
change the world for the better Watts Up! Demaria's Journey is a story that requires
telling. A unique film, this documentary has a lot to add to the conversation about global
healing. During a time of war, violence and environmental devastation, people around the
world are contemplating their roles in global healing. Watts, Up! Demaria's
Journey takes the viewer into a profound conversation and reveals the impact of one
person's epiphany and how individual transformation has the ability to make us look at our
own lives and desires for positive
change.
Watts Up! Demaria's Journey is executive produced by writer, educator and television
producer, Belvie Rooks, co-produced by Marjan Tehrani and directed by Damani Baker.
