PLAYWRIGHT'S 30-YEAR PLEA FOR 'A WORLD WITHOUT WAR' |
|
FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE |
A success as a filmmaker and producer, Thompson's award-winning film Clouds was co-produced by Will Arntz of the What the Bleep film fame. Together with former prisoner of conscience Ngawang Choephel, Thompson also co-produced the acclaimed documentary Tibet in Song, winner of a Special Jury Prize at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival and the International Human Rights Film Award from Cinema for Peace. His latest project is a collection of essays titled A World Without War. The book chronicles important political and cultural issues and trends post 9/11 -- all with Thompson's unique and independent perspective that often puts a completely new spin on familiar topics. Displaying a combination of wit, insight and courage, the author delves into a wide range of cultural, political and economic topics. Moving beyond left and right, Thompson asks us to find common ground based on shared human values. A World Without War is at once unabashedly honest in its holistic analysis of important issues and optimistic in outlining a poignantly hopeful view of a potentially peaceful world. A World Without War is currently available on Amazon through Del Sol Press. Thompson continues to promote and produce humanitarian-themed films through his production company nextpix (www.nextpix.com) and blog SolPix. #### |
