In the midst of a city that is publicized for riots, earthquakes, and gang violence The World Festival of Sacred Music - The Americas blossomed as an unprecedented community expression of peace and fellowship. The festival turned to music to affirm a commitment to create a culture of human kindness and universal responsibility for generations to come. It was a massive and inspiring effort that could only be brought to fruition through the grassroots support of thousands. It even garnered the blessing of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who opened the nine-day event. The message: A deep appreciation for converging histories through the rich hybrid cultures that have emerged in society; a multitude of sacred expressions through music that speak directly to our shared humanity, and common concerns for our children, our planet, and all living things. The World Festival of Sacred Music - The Americas now seeks a wider audience for its message. Captured on video and CD, the heart of the festival endures to be shared and enjoyed in the privacy of your own home. But it requires a means to reach the world audience. KCET (PBS affiliate in L.A.) has picked up the documentary for a June 15 release. PBS National is considering it for nationwide broadcast.
