Robbert Greenwald of Brave New Films has done it again.
He has captured the wisdom of our time by interviewing the activists who fought for social justice over the last four decades. We have come to a precipice, and we are looking over the edge into an unknown future. Once again, everything is about to change.
We have been given the opportunity of a lifetime. If we embrace the change, if we mold it, and shape it into something positive, then we have a chance to create a better tomorrow. Right now is the time, you must be prepared to accept the responsibility, to act and lead and take charge. If you choose not to participate, that IS a choice, you are just as responsible for what becomes of the future as those who will try and exploit it.
For once and for all, our generations have been challenged with saving what is left of our world. We must shape our choices so that the new technologies, the new energy, the new environment are all distributed justly. So that no one is disenfranchised and no one is allowed to take advantage of others. Else we will see infinite wars, famine, disease, and death unlike any in history. It is our actions that will decide the outcome, and the odds are already against us.
Watch the interviews this month. Glean the wisdom. Grok the future.
