Description

Après le succès de The Story of God, Morgan Freeman nous propose un voyage ambitieux à travers le monde, pour tenter de répondre aux plus grandes interrogations de l'humanité. Dans une époque violente, complexe, où la peur et la division semblent prédominer l'ordre des choses, il est des êtres qui éclairent, qui rassemblent, qui fédèrent. C'est cette histoire que veut nous raconter Morgan Freeman. Nous raconter ce qui fait l'humanité, ce qui nous unit au-delà des cultures, des frontières, du langage. Il veut nous parler d'amour ; il veut nous parler de nous. Pourquoi aimons-nous nos proches, nos partenaires amoureux, nos amis ? Comment des croyances communes ont-elles contribué à façonner l'humanité ? Et la liberté dans tout ça ? Des interrogations qui sont autant d'espoirs, autant d'aspirations qui trouvent des expressions diverses à travers le monde. Tel un funambule, Morgan Freeman va de ville en ville, de rencontre en rencontre, recueille les témoignages comme on rassemble les pièces d'un puzzle infini.

The Fight for Peace

Freeman travels the world to study the cycles of war and peace. From the ritualized combat of the sacred Tinku festival in Bolivia to Rwanda's postgenocide reconciliation program, this episode deals with humanity's enormous capacity for violence and the endless pursuit of harmony. Conflict can drive innovation, but is war necessary? Physical barriers and a fear of destruction might make us more cautious, but is peace merely the absence of war?
