One Peace at a Time
(A film about a messed up world… and how we can fix it)
World Premiere
Austin’s Paramount Theatre
Tuesday, April 14th, 8:00 p.m.

One Peace at a Time is an inspiring feature documentary highlighting solutions to some of the world’s most pressing problems. The film includes the insights of Nobel Peace laureate Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Physicist Steven Chu, (Barack Obama’s Secretary of Energy), Dr. Helene Gayle (CEO of CARE, International), American legend Willie Nelson and many others.

The film follows director Turk Pipkin’s five-continent, two-year search for a better way ahead. Pipkin sought the answer to one basic question: Can we provide basic rights – water, nutrition, education, healthcare and a sustainable and peaceful environment – to every child on earth?

The solutions Pipkin chronicles include the model Indian orphanages of The Miracle Foundation, family planning initiatives with Thailand’s Mechai Viravaidya, Ethiopian water projects with A Glimmer of Hope, and Architecture for Humanity’s global design challenge for communities in need in the Himalayas, the Amazon and the slums of Nairobi.

In Banngladesh, Pipkin met Muhammad Yunus, the “Banker to the Poor” whose pioneering work in microfinance has led tens of millions of people out of extreme poverty. “We must be pilots,” Yunus told Pipkin. “We must know where we are going and lead the world where we want to go.”

One Peace at a Time is Pipkin’s sequel to his highly acclaimed documentary Nobelity, which Esquire Magazine called, “Nine ways to save the World.” While Nobelity looked at problems through the eyes of nine Nobel laureates, the new movie focuses on solutions that every person can be a part of.

“People are hungry to play a part in creating a better world,” says Pipkin. “I hope this film will inspire large numbers of people to accomplish great things in the world and in their own lives.”

The film is produced by the Nobelity Project, a 501c3 nonprofit working for a more peaceful and sustainable world. Proceeds from the film support the Nobelity in Schools education program and the nonprofit’s development work in Kenya, Ethiopia and elsewhere. Online at www.nobelity.org

AMOA-Downtown will present One Peace at a Time in pictures, photographs, short films and related images from the films of The Nobelity Project. The five-week exhibition in the museum’s Community Room facing Congress Avenue will feature photographs from Turk Pipkin’s film trips in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Thailand, Kenya, Ethiopia, Ecuador, Costa Rica and elsewhere. The exhibition will also offer continuous screenings of The Nobelity Project’s series Short Films/Big Changes, as well as the theatrical trailers of Nobelity and One Peace at a Time, in a collaborative, creative, community environment using furnishings from Austin’s Four Hands Furniture.

The exhibition will be open to the public free of charge, and during SXSW, badge holders to all three festivals will get half of regular admission to the other two Museum shows, Outside Realism: Photographs by Clifford Ross and Lordy Rodriguez: States of America.

On Tuesday, April 14, from 6:00-7:30p.m., The Austin Museum of Art will host a private pre-screening reception before the premiere of One Peace at a Time at the Paramount Theatre. The event benefits the Nobelity Project. Tickets at nobelity.org
