    Sedona AZ (June 4, 2015) – Down to Earth, the story of a family who left the beaten path in order to find a new perspective on life, captured the Jury Prize at the second annual Illuminate Film Festival, the world’s premier festival for conscious cinema.

    Directed by Rolf Winters and Renata Heinan, Down to Earth, which made its U.S. debut at Illuminate, followed a family over five years across five continents as they sought out tribal sages never filmed or interviewed before. Down to Earth reveals the deep wisdom they found and its power to transform lives.

    20150604_ILLUMINATE-2015_Launch_Party-1001“We launched Illuminate Film Festival to use conscious cinema as a medium to uplift, inspire and transform,” said Founder and Executive Director Danette Wolpert. “The reactions of our audiences, filmmakers and those behind the scenes showed clearly that we achieved that goal on many levels.”

    Other prize winners were:

    • Audience Award for Best Feature Film: A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story, directed by Sara Hirsh Bordo. Runner Up – Landfill Harmonic, directed by Brad Allgood and Graham Townsley.

    • Impact Award: Dying to Know: Ram Dass & Timothy Leary, directed by Gay Dillingham.

    The Business of Deportation

    Sedona, AZ — A cottage industry on steroids has erupted across the United States, fueled by the political firestorm around immigration and the logistical nightmare of enforcing it. President Donald Trump returned to power with the singular focus of cracking down on illegal immigration. The country is watching an old issue swell into an industrial-scale operation—an expensive, chaotic, and morally fraught machine that’s straining every gear in the federal system.
