Short Film:
The unRival Invitation

See with the eyes of someone waking up to the rivalrous systems that plunge his world into conflict. This narrative explores the path of isolation often experienced when rejecting the status quo of violence to foster a broader sense of community.
The journey is not easy. It’s about saying no to the familiar, braving the unknown, and pursuing an expanded understanding of humanity. “The unRival Invitation” challenges our ideas about justice, peace, and resilience, offering a nuanced and powerful vision of hope.
