"What if you learned there was a secret sauce to unlock a joyful non-stop celebration? One that made all participants happy to be alive and committed to living life to the fullest. And that it didn’t even stop there, it trained us how to be our better selves and kept us reaching further, well beyond our grasp to discover the outer limits of real-life human endeavor. Would you want to get some? Would you want to share it with others? I bet you would. Well it is here, right now, but best experienced in a large room in the dark with a bunch of strangers. But don’t be afraid. It isn’t even illegal. It’s cinema. And its power goes well beyond its capacity to change people’s hearts and minds, to help them walk in the shows of others. Cinema unlocks secret languages, builds bridges and breaks down walls. Working together we will unleash the greatest power for positive change the world has ever seen."
