Local filmmaker, Andrea Sadler, is presenting her documentary film, The Sacred Run, the lotus and the feather, a 55 minute documentary filmed in Japan, USA & Canada at the Butterfield Library on Wednesday June 6, 2012.

Following the film there will be a Q & A with the filmmaker and a circle ceremony led by First Nation musician/artist, Roland Moussa.

Film Synopsis:

American Indian leader, Dennis Banks, with First Nation people from North America and Japan, were joined by volunteers from 13 countries on a ceremonial run finishing in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The filmmaker, Andrea Sadler, joined the run, with camera in hand, to present a remarkable physical and spiritual journey of a diverse group of all ages, who voyaged 4,000 km along the Sea of Japan to carry the simple message, that All Life is Sacred.

The film is a stunning inspirational portrait of individuals committed to promoting peace, encouraging respect for the earth and all life, and to sharing the rich cultural diversity of the human race.

" I hear everywhere, sure, I want peace, but how? The Sacred Run, the lotus and the feather, provides a map, a marvelous map indeed!  Take your passion for peace, sprinkle it with your interests and culture in a way that seduces others around the world to join in and embrace the love of all people, everywhere. Spread the word!"

Patch Adams, MD, Founder of The Gesundheit Institute, Arlington, VA

"Few videos or films capture my attention as did Andrea Sadler's film, The Sacred Run, the lotus and the feather. Not only because of the subject matter but because of how it was filmed and edited. Andrea Sadler will be around making films for many years. I'm anxious to see her next project!"

Dennis Banks, AIM leader & Co-Founder of The Sacred Run & The Longest Walk 1 & 2 www.sacredrun.org, www.longestwalk.org

"The Sacred Run, the lotus and the feather" is one of most inspiring, powerful, awesome depictions of a sacred journey of hope, love and beauty."
