This film focuses on the commonality of every faith when addressing peaceful coexistence and civil behavior. The Golden Rule, which is also known as the Ethic of Reciprocity, is a universal value that instructs each individual to, \u201cDo unto others as you would want to have done to yourself\u201d as well as the converse, \u201cDo not do to another what you would not want to have done to yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n We are living in a time when so much of the world is immersed in violence, discrimination, intolerance, corruption and abuse. It is essential for us to be reminded to embrace this behavioral value that is crucial to civility and tolerance and is a priority within every religion.<\/p>\n This special Parliament House screening was attended by a diverse representation of religious clergy as well as faith based organizational leaders, government officials and several busloads of high school students. The screening was followed by an interfaith roundtable discussion that included Mr. Kakan Sukandin and K.H. Ucup Saputra from the Muslim faith, Mr. Cosmas Maurema from the Catholic faith, Pastor P.H Happy Munthe from the Christian faith, and Mr. Wayan Wira Saputra from the Hindu faith.<\/p>\n Together they affirmed the significance of the Golden Rule and the importance of including it in the educational curriculum for all ages.<\/p>\n As an acknowledgement of the timely importance of this film, the Visions of Peace Initiative together with the documentary received the \u201cOrganization and Film of Peace Award, 2024\u201d collectively from the Muslim, Majelis Ulama Indonesia Foundation, from the Christian, Victory Foundation and from the Hindu, Girinatha Foundation. The award recognizes the documentary as \u201can important film that brings light and peace to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n Mr. Kakan Sukandin, representing the Indonesian Ulama Council stated, “This film is on a humanitarian mission to achieve world peace, by teaching tolerance and how to love other people as we love ourselves. I have the greatest appreciation for this documentary. I hope that after seeing this film that each of us can behave more peacefully towards one another both in our communities and in our country and help achieve a more global peaceful coexistence.”<\/p>\n Following the screening at the Parliament House, the documentary continued what is being described as its\u201d peace and tolerance film tour\u201d and included screenings at the Russian Cultural Embassy, the Cibubur Junction Cinepolis Cinema for media, diplomats, and students and at several schools including the MAN 4 Bogor, Sagamulya High School, and SMAN 1 Cigombong. During these multiple screenings, several thousand students and young adults were in attendance and participated in the Question and Answer sessions that followed afterwards.<\/p>\n The Sudanese Ambassador to Indonesia, Dr. Yassir Mohamed Ali, who attended the Cinepolis Cinema screening commented, “This film is very good and this film has many messages to convey. Not only to just one religion but to all religions in the world because the Golden Rule exists in all religions. To achieve world peace we, as Muslims, must apply this Golden Rule to our religion as part of civility for all humanity and it is very important for this Golden Rule to be taught in schools. The more we teach open-mindedness, tolerance, and the Golden Rule to the younger generation the hope for a better world will be more likely come true. It’s important for the younger generation to be taught what the Golden Rule is. They need to understand that the meaning of religion is love.”<\/p>\n Princess Cheryl Halpern, a founder of the Visions of Peace Initiative and also a co-producer, explained the decision to commission this documentary saying, \u201cTolerance, the willingness to accept behavior and beliefs that are different from your own is essential in order to achieve civility and respect for diversity. Unfortunately, tolerance is not included in the human genome. Tolerance must be taught to our children. We need to provide the education and support to enable our children to reject the intolerance, disunity and extremism to which they are exposed. This is the mission of the Visions of Peace Initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n Princess Natasha Dematra, a co-founder of the Visions of Peace Initiative and co-producer of the documentary noted, \u201cThrough the Visions of Peace Initiative\u2019s programs, Indonesian youth have learned to embrace the Golden Rule as the universal value of social civility. This documentary presents this core behavioral goal that is central to every faith. It is a value that must be embraced in our world where violence, prejudice and injustice is growing unabated.” <\/p>\n The Visions of Peace Initiative together with its production partners, the American award-winning HQ Creative production team and Indonesia\u2019s award winning Angel Pictures are committed to screening the important message of \u201cThe Golden Rule: Do Unto Others\u2026\u201d globally in a dedicated effort to foster a more peaceful and tolerant world.<\/p>\n Website : https:\/\/visionsofpeaceinitiative.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n Y Makhu
