Freebie of the Week: Stoke from Global Oneness

There’s lots of bad news in the world.

War.

Poverty.

Threats to the environment.

But amidst all the doomsday forecasts, there’s lots of good news, too.

And the Global Oneness Project wants you to know all about it.

The Global Oneness Project, an organization dedicated to the exploration of “how the radically simple notion of interconnectedness can be lived in our increasingly complex world,” travels the world in search of stories about people and organizations doing transformative community building. What they find is turned into short documentaries distributed for free.

This week’s freebie is a DVD of short films produced by the Global Oneness Project. Taking the viewer from India to Ecuador, every short film–ranging from 4 to 17 minutes in length–is a straight up shot of positive stoke about the state of the world.

I’ll send my copy to the first person who posts a link to their Matador profile in the comments section below. Don’t have one? No problem… sign up for a free account here.
