Scared Sacred:
In Scared Sacred director Velcrow Ripper chooses to accomplish one thing: to reveal the possibility of reconciliation through the use of some of the most horrific and terrifying events of our recent history. Since each resolution is unique to the situation and/or person(s), Ripper exposes the viewer to the alternatives of reconciliation either from within the people themselves or through other forms of belief systems.
He touches upon many (9 to be exact) events which occured in various countries beginning in India with a faulty Carbide factory and ending in Israel with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He tackles these sensitive and politically charged issues in this documentary by allowing the viewer to learn about each tragedy through the personal recollections of the survivors. While also serving as a personal journey to reconcile his own feelings of unanswered questions regarding loss, hatred, politics and war; Ripper uses the meditations of these people to inspire others to have the ability to forgive and move beyond their own personal tragedies.
His simple message of acceptance and forgiveness is a much needed one in our current society. Although laden with enormous doubt and sadness, Scared Sacred carves out a narrow path of hope for our past and current ills.

intense!
I thought you guys hated this movie.
Mark hated it...I didn't *love* it but I liked it. It's a good movie to bring an awareness of these issues to a general public. For people who are already aware,I can see how it may seem preachy, pointless or redundant.
