AUDIENCE FAVORITE FEATURE - DocUtah | HUMANITARIAN AWARD - DocUtah | BEST DOCUMENTARY - Julien Dubuque International Film Festival | "A simultaneously joyful and unflinching film...it could not be more current." - The Denver Gazette | "Draws stark parallels between Humanity's darkest impulses and our capacity for light and compassion." - Denver Lynx Radio | "An essential lesson for all humanity" - Solzy at the Movies

The Role of Human Nature Throughout History • Dehumanization • Empathy • Compassion • The Holocaust • Indigenous Americans • African Americans • Armenians • Cambodia • Bosnia • Rwanda • Ukraine • Causes of Genocide • Other-ing • Survivor Experiences • Education • SEL • Memorialization • Shoah Foundation

For centuries, Humankind has grappled with the tension between the two extremes of our nature: Dehumanization and Empathy. Darkness and Light. From the genocide of Indigenous peoples of the western hemisphere to the horrors of the Holocaust to the genocides in Bosnia and Rwanda we hope that, with every succeeding generation, we’re progressing away from the darkness and closer to the light.

Similarly, in 2019 a collective act of empathy called “Ride for the Living” also featured a journey from darkness to light. Originating at the universal symbol of absolute evil (Auschwitz-Birkenau), 250 cyclists from 12 different countries came together to re-trace the WWII liberation path of a 10-year Holocaust survivor across the Polish countryside to reach a destination symbolizing our common humanity: Krakow, Poland.

Veering between the intimate stories of survivors and the startling similarities between all genocides, these parallel journeys bring to life just how challenging it is to leave the darkness behind. Inciting the urgent conversation: When will we stop building monuments for the Dead and get busy re-humanizing the Living? When will we finally say NEVER AGAIN and truly mean it?
