White Irish Drinkers (2010)
To see beyond the moment
During these challenging times, when life seems so overwhelming, so hopeless, so unable to change tracks or make different choices, a film like this can touch someone at a level so deep, that personal movement becomes possible again.
There are a few creative people on this planet, who when they take action, I KNOW they have a message I need and want to hear. John Gray is one of those people. When I saw the cast and crew for this production, I knew that it was even more important to hear this message, that ALL these creative professionals, signed on to co-create, for much more then a monetary reward.
One of the challenges that has happened to the humans in the US, is that over time, we have lost or given up those important rites of passages, during which "today, I take a different path." (become a different person, live a different life)... Even more importantly, to not leave that path, give up on the vision, abandon the dream, no matter the enticements of an easier "way", faster rewards, or even,~ sometimes, to just stop being the outcast, the outsider, the misfit, and to finally break the mold and the legacy, is both something the viewers can identify with AND connect to on an emotional level.
A story like this can help keep that spark of hope alive long enough, to survive, thrive and become a light (in turn) for others as John Gray, and those who share his path have become, if only it can be distributed out to those who desperately need to hear, see and feel the heart of stories like this one!
