Desc: dOWNtOWN: Directed by Robert Schlaudecker. Amazing things happen when you respectfully approach people in the street, ask them personal questions and enter into mutually enriching conversation. Conversing with strangers presents the most incredible, yet easily achievable means toward de-escalating interpersonal conflict and improving the human condition. In a world where tensions are increasingly threatening the life on this planet, modes of spiritually productive communication are as important between people who have never spoken to each other as they are for the most intimate relationships. Through interviews with random pedestrians on the streets of Toronto, the film explores specific questions about what people think, believe in, and what inspires them the most. It supports the realization that we are all One and united with all living creatures in this world.
