Viewers Comments about: “The Sacred Run, the lotus and the feather”
“Not only is SACRED RUN a film that teaches and entertains,
it is also a movie that takes you on a most inspiring physical adventure and
then launches you out of the theatre or off the couch convinced that you
can save the planet.”
Ezra Soiferman,
Filmmaker, (MAN OF GREASE, TREE WEEKS)

“This film is more a meditation than a film and like all potent
meditation, it purifies the one who watches it. Without the journey,
what is life?”

“I was moved at how this film captured the depth of my heart.
The truths spoken and all the images seen remind us that peace
on earth must prevail and all nations must come together to end war.
At this crucial time in history, with impending war on the horizon,
THE SACRED RUN provides viewers with important lessons that inspire
us to re-evaluate our own personal connection to the earth and
responsibility to create peace.”
Fiorina Di Bacco,
Reiki Master/Teacher,

“The Sacred Run weaves together the “feather” of ancient Native
American wisdom with the “lotus” of Buddhism and indigenous Japanese
traditions showing that all people are one at heart — that we can be
united in community, while honoring diversity. It is a powerful call
for peace and justice. We are each inspired to take our rightful place
as a life-supporting species — to help heal the planet and to live in
harmony with each other and with all living beings on Earth which
provides for us so bountifully.”

“The Sacred Run is a must-see for anyone comitted to the re-humanizing
of humanity which necessitates the deep instrospection Ms. Sadler’s film
evokes – of particular importance in these tormented times, especially if
the world is going to be saved from devastation war would inevitably wreak.”
Ken Fernandez, B.C.L., LL.B.,
Executive Director
Horizons Political Consulting Agency
“The essence of filmmaking is to teach and to share. The Sacred Run by
Andrea Sadler teaches us about love and shares with us a sense of hope.
I can offer no higher praise.”

First Nations Filmmaker,

The diverse film community Montreal plays home to is reflected here in the broad range of names included. As well, one dear reader seems to be up on a big new thing about town, a your relatively unknown quebecois filmmaker we’d never heard of before, who goes by the name of Stephane Speilberg. Thanks for keeping up our street cred for us-we always like to deep up on what the hot new names of the future are going to be.
