CONNECTED: A Search for Unity is a docuseries that seeks to illuminate that we are all one people, connected, and that we share a desire to be seen, understood, valued and loved. The purpose is to build unity and love through sharing the wisdom and experiences of people from all walks of life; proving that there is far more that unites us than divides us.
The last two decades have been increasingly tumultuous in almost every way for this nation. Our national media paints a picture of an America almost irreconcilably divided. Rich against poor, conservative against liberal, traditional against alternative, and a backdrop of racial division. Our natural world is also in crisis. Species are going extinct at an alarming rate. Our oceans, forests and natural habitats are being decimated by pollution, overpopulation, and a changing global climate.
While apps such as twitter, Instagram, SnapChat, and Facebook enjoy increasing popularity, it seems clear that in many ways they inhibit genuine human connection. The average person doesn’t feel seen, understood or valued by those in power. Instead, most people feel manipulated, exploited, and controlled by forces out of their control. Likewise, people feel concerned about the natural world, and yet feel powerless to make real change. A culture of fear, anger, and misinformation has arisen that is leveraged by those in power for political and monetary gain.
CONNECTED proves that we are all one people. Through understanding, and sharing the wisdom and experience of people from all walks of life, we can find love. And through love, we can work powerfully to begin to solve the problems that plague us, and heal our world.
