Organized the campaign, brainstorming session and oversaw volunteers as well as designed all creative materials for a Global screening of the movie Gandhi to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Gandhi’s nonviolent movement on 9/11/06. Used social media and our relationships within the National and Global Campaigns for Departments of Peace, Brooklyn Nonviolence Communication and other peace organizations to enroll over 64 venues in seven countries In less than six months. Generated over 34 media pieces globally.

Satyagraha is an award winning movie made by Rob Graydon, in conjunction with New Yorkers for a Department of Peace. The movie tells the history of nonviolence and was screened before the movie Gandhi at the Regal Cinema, at Ground Zero in New York on September 11, 2006. Copies of the DVD were sold online as a fundraising tool for New Yorkers for a Department of Peace.

 

My contribution to the making of Satyagraha was primarily having the privilege of assisting Rob Graydon on day he interviewed Mahatma Gandhi's grandson, Arun Gandhi. I was the sound guy that day! I also designed the DVD packaging and one of the screen titles used in the film.
