Sail Boat to Crusie from Africa/Europe to the USA for Peace

On March 8th, 2008, The Beija Flor, a 54 foot sailing vessel with Skipper Detlef Kowalewski and his crew/band will set sail from off the coast of Africa and Europe for a two month trip as the EUROROCK PEACE FULL SAIL that will again begin in Florida.

EuroRock, founded by LouRicca, a peace activist is a tour for Peace that has toured America with musicians from all over the world and has been going on three years as of now. EuroRock now goes to the oceans with Peace Full Sail and known Musicians from all over the world to help bring peace across the Atlantic Ocean to the rest of the world.

Ricca plans to film this voyage with an experienced cinematographer he has hired to document the voyage, the music and the history being made.

The trip will hopefully be broadcast and streamed on the Internet every other day live from the boat as it sails to its destination bringing Peace. "At the destination, Tampa Bay, and Jamaica,we will hold a concert from the ships deck and broadcast it live as well. Much Publicity will take place. We are also filming the whole trip for a documentary."

Some of the celebrities taking part in EuroRock Peace Full Sail for Peace on land and/or on sea:

• Swiss Chris: 5 time Grammy Winner John Legend’s Music Director and Drummer
• Charlie Souza: Tom Petty’s former Bass player/and now bass player for the New Rascals
• The Skipper, Detlef Kowalewski who was back-up for Iron Maiden
• The Gandhi Tour/1001 Ways with Dr. Arun Gandhi, M. Gandhi’s grandson giving talks
• And many others that have been contacted and we are awaiting confirmation.

Right now, Ricca says they are 99.9% ready to go. All that is needed is a piece of equipment that will enable them to broadcast their trip in real time on the Internet.
Ricca says "The dish costs 40,000€ and we couldn't afford this, so we thought about putting the word out for a sponsor to lend us the equipment and Internet connection for two months."

Ricca says they will have to do without if they cannot find the sponsor, but there will be pictures and film available for our documentary.

There is still room for a bass player and drums, so please contact Lou at his website given above. This is a trip of a lifetime and for the good of the world.

Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?

by Lael
I was lucky enough to catch a screening of Morgan Spurlock's newest documentary effort Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. While not in competition and therefore not up for any awards, the film was definitely a hit with festival goers.

Billed as a failed attempt to locate one demonized Arab, Where in the World succeeds admirably at achieving its true objective of humanizing the larger Muslim and Arab population for the film's American audience. The filmmaker, a charismatic, refreshingly down-to-earth West Virginia native best known for his earlier critique of the fast food industry, Supersize Me (and also for producing the light-hearted, anti-commercialization documentary What Would Jesus Buy), uses his prodigious charm to create near-instant rapport with almost everyone he encounters in the film. Indeed, I for one was left wishing that the entire US diplomatic corps could be made up of Spurlock's ilk. Then I went further and took to fantasizing about a world in which his playful and guileless yet thoughtful persona and visage were the face of America throughout the world.

Viewers who tend to skip documentaries in favor of standard dramatic and comedic Hollywood fare will likely enjoy this often hilarious, well-paced movie. That Spurlock makes a series of conversations with serious-minded intellectuals, journalists and military personnel, along with a smattering of average, everyday folks, into such solid entertainment is a testament to his inventiveness. The film's video game conceit (pitting an animated Spurlock against an animated Bin Laden) along with the filmmaker's improvisational skill and quick conversational wit all contribute to the movie's many laughs. At the same time, Where in the World addresses serious issues such as the use by Al-Qaeda of the Palestinian/Israeli conflict to recruit and galvanize extremists, the miserable conditions in remote regions of Afghanistan and the history of cynical, shortsighted US alliances with repressive Middle Eastern regimes.

Already set to be distributed by The Weinstein Company, Spurlock's documentary is likely to open wide. For the sake of increased international goodwill and deepened American understanding of the Islamic world, in other words, for the sake of peace, I certainly hope that it does.
