Velcrow Ripper

Fierce Light continues the quest for a fusion between spirituality and activism previously explored in Velcrow Ripper's award-winning feature documentary Scared Sacred. The 2006 murder of friend and fellow media-activist Brad Will in protest-torn Oaxaca, Mexico is the impetus for Ripper's journey, which takes him to flash points of spiritual activism around the world.

He discovers what Paul Hawken (author “Blessed Unrest”) describes as the largest global movement in history - thousands of individuals and organizations connected by a shared commitment to compassionate, positive action. Alice Walker calls it "a human sunrise" - Ripper calls it "Fierce Light." With stunning cinematography, a compelling soundtrack, and dramatic stories of resistance and transformation, the film reveals what is possible when human beings, faced with a world in crisis, rise to their absolute best.
