I'm dropping a quick post here to raise awareness about an excellent documentary called "I AM," the latest film from award-winning comedy writer and director Tom Shadyac, who brought us Ace Ventura, The Nutty Professor, Liar Liar, Bruce Almighty, and Patch Adams, as well as other films and television series. I have not yet been able to see the film, which is currently in limited release in theatres in the US, but several friends have recently seen it and have reported back that it's an inspiring and uplifting work. Who could expect less from Tom Shadyac? The quality of his work speaks for itself and I look forward to viewing the film when I'm able to do so. The documentary features interviews with Desmond Tutu, Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky, Lynne McTaggart, Coleman Barks and Thom Hartman, exploring the questions of what is wrong with our world and what we can do to change it.
A central theme of connectedness and unity runs through the movie. To me, this type of message is extremely important, especially at this time when we see people all over the world beginning to awaken, standing up to tyranny in a quest for independence and the dissolution of corrupt governmental and for-profit belief systems. The more that messages like those contained in "I AM" reach the masses, the faster we can begin to unite as one voice and begin to further raise the collective vibration of humanity and the planet. Tom's story is quite compelling. As he puts it, he has been on his own quest of awakening for years, and like many of us he began to question the memes and handed-down beliefs that govern much of the world and its control systems. Not only does he talk the talk, but this man really walks the walk, having given away much of his wealth, stepping away from his Hollywood A-List status and instead opting to simplify his life by moving to a mobile home park.
The trailer is embedded below and the film's official website is located here. On the film's official site you can view Tom's blog and learn about his Foundation For I AM, the specific purpose of which is "dedicated to filling the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of those impoverished in our society." I find Tom's personal story quite inspiring and wish him all the best with the continued success of this film and his other endeavors.
