The Sacred Run, the lotus and the feather: Documentary Screening with filmmaker Andrea Sadler
Film Showing Honors Native American Heritage Month at the Rockingham Free Public Library
Filmmaker Andrea Sadler will help Friends of the Rockingham Free Public Library in Bellows Falls celebrate Native American Heritage Month when she presents her 55-minute documentary The Sacred Run, the lotus & the feather on Saturday, November 14th from noon until 1:30 pm at the library.
The film traces the 1995 ceremonial run by indigenous peoples of the Americas and Japan and 14 countries, carrying the message All Life Is Sacred. Their journey concluded in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, marking the 50th anniversary of the atomic bombings.
Manna Jo Greene, the founder of Hudson Valley Sustainable Communities Network, describes the film this way: “The Sacred Run weaves together the “feather” of ancient Native American wisdom with the “lotus” of Buddhism and indigenous Japanese traditions showing that all people are one at heart — that we can be united in community, while honoring diversity. It is a powerful call for peace and justice.”
A native of Ontario, Canada, world-traveling filmmaker Andrea Sadler is an activist for peace, social justice and the environment. Over the years since she participated in the Sacred Run, she has hosted and joined many other peace walks. Besides her filmmaking and work as a transformational coach, she acts in theater, film and television. No matter what the medium, Andrea explores balancing spirit through the heart. “I am passionate about consciousness,” she explains. “How do we live on the earth in a balanced way with respect for all life? I’d like to inspire us towards awareness of life that flows through everything. This film is very close to my heart and soul.”
The presentation and discussion of The Sacred Run, the lotus & the feather will take place on the second floor meeting room of the Rockingham Free Public library at 65 Westminster Street in Bellows Falls, Vermont on Saturday, November 14th from noon until 1:30 pm.
This Friends of the Library sponsored event is free and open to all.
