Filmmakers,<\/i><\/p>\n
Creatively, you seek world audiences to entertain
\nthrough increasingly varied genres of filmmaking
\nbut sadly, a tradition of violence many movies sustain
\nand viewers are exposed to cruel forms of killing<\/p>\n
As actors, directors, producers and writers you are powerful
\nyour filmmaking achievements are universally recognized
\nbut are the lessons conveyed by most of your films peaceful?
\ncan\u00b4t your box office goals become more humanized?<\/p>\n
By making more films with a focus on Nonkilling
\nyour art-science-industry can start a worthy trend
\nthat will enhance World Peace-awareness raising:
\nPlease show that to Life-supporting there is no END!
