(PayPal account NOT required - pay with Credit Cards at the bottom of the page)One Peace at a Time is Turk Pipkin’s sequel to his highly acclaimed documentary Nobelity, which Esquire Magazine called, “Nine ways to save the World.” While Nobelity looked at problems through the eyes of Nobel laureates, the new movie focuses on solutions where every person can take part, including

Austin based non-profits The Miracle Foundation and A Glimmer of Hope.  Also appearing: Nobel Peace laureate Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Physicist Steven Chu, (Secretary of Energy), Dr. Helene Gayle (CEO of CARE), and American legend Willie Nelson.

 

The film is produced by The Nobelity Project, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working for a more peaceful and sustainable world.

The Rollingwood Neighborhood Association and Women’s Club think this movie is so important and wonderful that everyone should be able to see it, so together we are underwriting the costs of bringing it to the people of Rollingwood. Please join us for this exclusive Rollingwood community screening to benefit The Nobelity Project and the

Rollingwood

Park.  Suggested donation $10 per person or $20 per family.
