Below is a short documentary I directed with the Global Ethics & Religion Forum.  We investigated the strategies that communities in India have employed for literally thousands of years to calm religious and sectarian tensions.  We take an in-depth look at the city of Ahmedabad, which has only recently become polarized along religious lines.  In 2002, horrific rioting resulted in the deaths of over 2000 people, the bulk of those victims coming from the Muslim minority.  This is particularly interesting given that Ahmedabad is in Gandhi's home-state of Gujarat.  The film below includes interviews with religious scholars and experts, including H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama, Maulana Wahiddudin Khan, Irfan Omar, and Cedric Prakash, S.J., among others.

Shot on location in India, this documentary looks at the famed inter-religious peace of Ahmedabad, and what contributed to the sectarian violence that took place there in 2002. Featuring interviews with a wide spectrum of religious leaders, scholars, and human rights workers. Directed by Christopher Baier, Cinematography by Martin DiCicco

In 2006 I spent 5 weeks shooting video and interviews at a Human Rights Centre in Ahmedabad, Gujarat - Gandhi's home state.  The video below was the "souvenir" I gave to people when I returned.  This was at a school about two hours outside of the city that was run by Jesuits.

Here's a version of a video I shot in India with Martin DiCicco.  We went with a non-profit which has since ceased to exist.  It's about the common interaction between individuals from different religious traditions inherent in Indian life, and how this has acted as a buffer against inter religious hostilities.

A look at how commonplace religious interaction has allowed India to exist with a plurality of religious diversity with relatively minimal hostilities. Since Partition, violence has increased, and this is investigated - how has traditional life under threat from modernization and religious polarization? Includes interviews with H.H. 14th Dalai Lama, Maulana Wahiddudin Khan, Cedric Prakash, and more.

 

Here's part of an interview I conducted with Cedric Prakash, a Jesuit Priest in Ahmedabad.  One of the most holy and practical people I've ever met.  

Here's part of an interview with Cedric Prakash. It's part of a documentary I'm finishing about the work of Cedric, a Jesuit Priest in the Indian city of Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

Here, Fr. George talks about how he needs to do good work within the community to keep opportunities alive for three generations down the road.  While he has a Ph.D. and is a full professor in Ahmedabad, he spends his weekends helping run a boys school for disadvantaged youth.

Jesuit work at Sanat Boys Hostel outside Ahmedabad. Fr. George teaches at University and helps run the hostel. Here, he describes why he does this work.

Here's a video profile I made for Corazon Familia - a non-profit that builds houses & communities in Tijuana and Tecate, Mexico.  Here, the World Religions classes I taught came together to raise money and be the active builders.  It was pretty fantastic.  All of the music was written by the students.  

In 2007, five World Religions classes at Santa Margarita Catholic High School raised money and went to the slums of Tijuana to build a house for a family involved with the Corazon Familia program. www.Corazon.org
