From India with Love is a documentary film about six survivors of violence from across America who embarked on a transformational journey to India, inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who had also visited India to study nonviolence. The common denominator that binds them in this story is their unique exposure to violence and their desire to reinvigorate the conversation about nonviolence in America.
The group included: a single mother whose son was brutally murdered in a tragic school shooting (Sandy Hook) and her best friend, a former gang member (Los Angeles), an educator (New Jersey), a social entrepreneur, and a music scholar (both Black Lives Matter activists from Oakland).
The film showcases how the immersion in the culture of India empowered them with tools, wisdom, and inspiration to find healing, and solace and rejuvenate their commitment to becoming stronger ambassadors of nonviolence in their communities and neighborhoods.
I enjoyed the film very much. What an important framework that you are offering of transformation and possibility for people who have been most affected by violence. I would love to explore possibilities of bringing the program in Rochester.

“The heartwarming film opens up a healing way for the most serious problem of our age. It concerns not only this small band but, by implication, every one of us. The creators of the event and the film deserve our thanks and congratulations.”
