My special one-hour guest on The Enrichment Hour this Sunday, April 13th is award-winning documentary film producer James LaVeck of Tribe of Heart Productions (www.tribeofheart.org). Showtime is from 1 to 2 PM Eastern, 10 to 11 AM Pacific, 12 to 1 PM Central, and 11 AM to 12 Noon Mountain.
James’s mission in his films is to awaken compassion and deepen each individual’s understanding of the interconnectedness of all life. His vision, and the vision of his significant other, Jenny Stein, is to help build a world free of violence and full of beauty.
Tribe of Heart is also a charitable organization that empowers caring people everywhere to become agents of peaceful social change. Its members consist of a global community of people from all walks of life, dedicated to living with kindness and respect for all living beings.
One of the hugely impactful documentary films produced and directed by James are “Peaceable Kingdom: The Journey Home.” With strikingly honest interviews and rare footage demonstrating the emotional lives and intense family bonds of animals most often viewed as living commodities, this groundbreaking documentary shatters stereotypical notions of farmers, farm life, and perhaps most surprisingly, farm animals themselves.
Another award-winning documentary film, The Witness, tells the story of a construction contractor from a tough Brooklyn neighborhood become an impassioned animal advocate. Eddie Lama explains how he feared and avoided animals for most of his life, until the love of a kitten opened his heart, inspiring him to rescue abandoned animals and bring his message of compassion to the streets of New York. With humor and sincerity, Eddie tells the story of his remarkable change in consciousness.
The Witness has been an official selection in 32 film festivals where it has received eight awards for Best Documentary and two for Best of Festival.
