PRAISE FROM THE FIELD
I recommend the "Acting Together" documentary to all involved or having an interest in transitional justice.
– Richard Goldstone
"Acting Together" will shift perspectives and change lives. It could transform the trajectory of human conflicts.
– Dr. Michelle LeBaron, University of British Columbia School of Law
We in Northern Ireland take comfort in watching this film, in knowing we are not alone in this journey; there are many more cultures emerging out of conflict, genocide and war.....we have new tools to help us excavate our truths and our troubled pasts, to speak to them and to dare envision a future where our broken world will be healed.
– Pauline Ross, Director of Derry Playhouse, Northern Ireland

The Documentary
The feature documentary "Acting Together on the World Stage" highlights courageous and creative artists and peacebuilders working in conflict zones. It features theatrical works and rituals that reach beneath people’s defenses in respectful ways that support communities to configure new patterns of meaning and relationships.
Global Screening Schedule"Acting Together on the World Stage" grows out of a six-year initiative of Theatre Without Borders, Brandeis University and filmmaker Allison Lund. Dynamic footage of performances, rituals and candid interviews with artists and peacebuilders place case studies in their socio-political and cultural contexts.
The documentary is designed for students, practitioners, educators, and policymakers in fields related to performance and to peace and conflict studies, and for others who believe – or who want to be convinced – that human communities have the creative capacities to transform conflict non-violently.
