The documentary film “Pale Blue Dot When You Smile…” reminds us of our human origin and perspective of life by showing us the relation between innovative, groundbreaking science and a centuries-old reverence for nature deeply rooted in Japanese culture.

At the film’s upcoming NYC debut, we will open with a brief mbira concert and end with a talk about water by Lum, the presenter of the film. Bathing in the frequencies of the waterlike mbira music, the film, and the talk, promises to be a powerful experience of our oneness and shining light.
