WHAT HAVE I DONE LATELY

When my son turned soldier age, I determined to use my skills to make the case against war and nuclear weapons as problem-solving options. To that end I have researched hundreds of books, documentaries, articles, lectures and interviews and have been producing, directing, shooting and editing interviews on my topic subject IS WAR INEVITABLE with international experts in religion, science,

politics and the humanities. For this project I created a company, simpatiko FILM WORKS, and have volunteered these services to the Nuclear Age Peace FDN of Santa Barbara to join the thousands of other creeks feeding the river of consciousness-raising and hopefully the ocean of change we all hope will address the shared problems of our distressed world.
