The words were in Spanish, but it didn&#8217;t take a translation to understand that what I was holding in my hand is an expression of our times; the increasing lack of stability in the workplace and the age-old desire for right-livelihood.</p>
<p>We had just finished watching &#8220;<a href="http://www.theeconomicsofhappiness.org/">The Economics of Happiness</a>&#8221; a film that critiques Globalization and promotes localization. I highly recommend checking it out, even though it is difficult to solve the complex problems of the whole world in 1.5 hours of film. Nevertheless it provided some excellent discussion.</p>
<p>Well I don&#8217;t want to open up too many cans &#8216;o worms here. Mostly just wanted to send out this image of San Precario. If you want to read more check out this link:</p>

<p>Things are going incredibly well. We are getting some great interviews! We just interviewed Dr. John Powers &#8211; checkout his book &#8220;<a href="http://www.oup.com/us/catalog/general/subject/ReligionTheology/ComparativeReligion/Eastern/~~/dmlldz11c2EmY2k9OTc4MDE5NTE3NDI2Nw==" title="John Powers: History as Proaganda" target="_blank">History as Propaganda:                        Tibetan Exiles versus the People&#8217;s Republic of China</a>&#8221;</p>
<p>We also interviewed Mary Gendler, who has been doing non-violent training here in India with the Tibetans for over 15 years! She was also close with the King family and involved with the March on Selma.</p>
<p>A few nights ago we did an audio-only interview with 6 ex-political prisoners &#8211; Tibetan Monks that had all been tortured and imprisoned by the Chinese Government. They did not want their faces to be shown for fear that the Chinese Governement will persecute their families back in occupied Tibet.</p>
<p>In addition we have been befriended by a wonderful couple here &#8211; Ronny and Rebecca Novick. Rebecca works for KPFK radio in Los Angeles, and Ronny does video documentary work. They have a fantastic website: <a href="http://thetibetconnection.org/" target="_blank">http://thetibetconnection.org</a></p>
<p>Together with Ronny and Rebecca we are going to create a website &#8220;<a href="http://tibetin49seconds.org/" target="_blank">tibetin49seconds.org</a>&#8221; where we will have a youtube video contest for people to submit their 49 second videos on the subject of Tibet. Stay tuned on that one&#8230;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m excited to start the editing process. We are starting to review some of our tapes while here&#8230;. its been such a whirlwind!</p>
<p>We are planning a couple of screenings here this week to share some of the footage from San Francisco &#8211; I think the Tibetans will get a kick out of seeing the thousands of protesters in SF as well as hearing the inspirational words of Archbishop Desmond Tutu. (see video below)</p>
<p>Anyhow that&#8217;s the update&#8230; We are still planning more interviews and some trips to some monasteries&#8230; stay tuned!</p>
