Rating: Summary: PeaceJam brings the Nobel Peace Laueates into your Classroom Review: PeaceJam, the DVD, portrays the vivid words and insights of Nobel Laureates as seen through the eyes of five youth. I recommend incorporating the PeaceJam book and DVD into high school and college curricula and extracurricular programs as a means of embedding academics in the real world, engaging students in service, and creating a generation of young people who have the skills to realize world peace on a global and local level. The DVD has scenes not available on the VHS version. ~ Kate Cumbo, Ph.D., Director of Service-Learning, Colorado Department of Education

Rating: Summary: If you work with kids, you have to see this movie! Review: The stories told by survivors of the Columbine shootings made me cry, (yes, yes, I admit it) and so did the stories of how other youth broke the cycle of violence in their own communities. I also learned ways in which I can help the at-risk youth I serve to "identify themselves as people who can produce greatness in the world."Adults that are helping young people to overcome conflicts of ethnicity, gender, racism, drug abouse, violence and academic failure, should definatly watch this movie. I think you will be both moved and inspired. I had not heard of PeaceJam before seeing this video, but I'll definatly tell my fellow teachers about it now. Everyone should see this movie and become inspired to create peace in their community.
Rating: Summary: An inspirational movie Review: This has everything stated above and more! If you're looking for information on conflict resolution, anger management, gender identity issues, gang-related violence, drug addiction, alcohol abuse, or just the hardships of being a teenager in this new millenium, then this is for you. These kids have had unbelievable experiences ranging from horrific to enlightening, like meeting the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Like Michael Moore's Bowling For Columbine, this includes the shooting survivor Richard Castaldo, who shares even more of his story through PeaceJam. I hope you too can purchase this and really enjoy the effect that it has on your life.
