Rooted In Peace Film



According to Reitman, the filmmaker of the project, "Rooted in Peace' is vital to the world as it examines and documents a new shift in consciousness among the world's enlightened leaders and the children of the Abhramaic religions, pointing to our shared peaceful roots and presenting the possibility of living in a world filled with love, trust and brotherhood." The documentary will explore the Arab-Israeli conflict in an entirely new way, by tracing the origins of the Jewish, Christian and Muslim religions back to a common patriarch, Abraham.



Reitman is the founder of Blue Water Entertainment, Inc., an independent production company focusing on environmentally conscience entertainment. Widely regarded as Hollywood's Green Producer, he recently produced the 2008 Sundance Audience Award-winning feature documentary Fields of Fuel, which presents the case for biodiesel as the fastest and most sustainable means to reducing our country's dependence on oil. He also wrote, produced, and directed the feature documentary Hollywood's Magical Island - Catalina (2003), syndicated on American Public Television (APT).

International Day of Peace



The International Day of Peace (Peace Day) was established by a United Nations (UN) resolution in 1981 to coincide with the opening of the General Assembly. The first Peace Day was celebrated in September 1982 and in 2002, the General Assembly officially declared September 21 as the official date. Peace Day provides an opportunity for individuals,

organizations and nations to create practical acts of peace on this shared date. Since its inception, Peace Day has marked our personal and planetary progress toward peace and has grown to include millions of people around the world. Each year, events are organized to commemorate and celebrate this day, ranging in scale from private gatherings to public concerts and forums where hundreds of thousands of people participate.

Face Doctor is a line of skin cleansing products that was developed in China after 30 years of research. Face Doctor products include complexion soap, medicated surgeon's soap, beauty cream and shampoo. Cooke discovered these products at Pellow's Pharmacy in Walkerton while explaining her skin problem to the pharmacists there.

"Going through Pellow's Pharmacy . . . I was talking to them (pharmacists) about my face and they said to try this," Cooke explained.

Along with patchy red skin, Cooke also suffered from acne and very

sensitive skin. She couldn't use any perfumes or scented creams. She

purchased the Face Doctor beauty cream and complexion soap as a last

resort after many efforts to fix her skin. Although the soap alone cost $20, it was well worth every penny, Cooke said.
