"We must become the change we want to see in the world."
- Mahatma Gandhi

It's time we focused on peace.

Perhaps if we all really understood peace—what it is we all hunger for—then we could have more of it in our lives. But how to understand peace? We handpicked four teenagers for this mission because their voices are fresh, open-minded and questioning. We wanted to see peace through their lenses.

Given cameras their first reaction is to shoot what they know, in their own back yards. But we challenge them to show us more. To go out in the world and bring back answers. 4 journeys

Their stories and their destinies eventually do intertwine. Marijanna, Bunthoeun, Tori and Max finally meet working together to shape their four very different perspectives into one cohesive film. It becomes clear that each of them has profoundly changed. Now, they better understand, as we do, the nuances and complexities of peace – more fully embracing a common mission born out of our common humanity.
