- Choose love to change the world -
A compelling and moving documentary that examines the scientific implications and values of forgiveness as well as the physical, mental and spiritual health benefits for individuals, relationships, and societies as a whole.

Choose Love explores many different facets of forgiveness, addressing new scientific findings and raising some important questions. The documentary describes a journey of transformation through a growth in knowledge and awareness. The seeds of a new form of humanity are present in empathy, love and the true character of forgiveness. Choose Love talks about this choice, accompanying the philosophical and spiri-tual aspects with new scientific insights. It gives voice to people who have made this journey, and tells the stories of people throughout history who, despite everything, have chosen the path of forgiveness, such as the aboriginal people from Australia.

True stories that describe a process of openness, forgiveness and love that breaks down prejudice and divi-sions. We need to change ourselves to change the world, because it is only by feeling strong and grounded that one can find the power for forgiveness.

Synopsis:
We are asked to make choices every day, and the answers we give are not always governed by our deepest feelings. Too often, we act instinctively or impulsively, or are influenced by past emotional issues. “Stop attaching so much weight to being right”, argues Deepak Chopra in the film. How many wars, conflicts and misunderstandings in the world could be avoided if only people were really listening?
Bruce Lipton (who outlines a new understanding of life based on his pioneering research in epigenetics) tells us that the Mind is more powerful than our genes, opening the way to a new scientific concept of man. Until a few years ago we thought we were victims of our DNA, but we are increasingly discovering that everyday choices can trigger or turn off certain genes. More and more studies have shown how the practice of meditation, or the positive impact of committing an act of forgiveness, can help to strengthen the immune, nervous and circulatory systems.

Philosophy, history, science and spirituality: we now know that everything is connected. In my previous film, “Un Altro Mondo” (Another World), I tried to shed light on these hidden ties between all things and to stress the importance of a positive attitude in creating awareness and change. Together with Food ReL-OVution, this new film can be seen as a direct successor: representing, if you like, the next phase.

The participants in the film are scientists and philosophers, but also “ordinary” people who have taken the extra step: Warriors of light who have managed to overcome terrible experiences by choosing forgiveness. In Choose Love, we will hear from a survivor of the Rwandan genocide, who was subsequently nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. During the trial of her family’s executioners, she found the strength to stand up and absolve them, providing humanity with a memorable lesson in the power of forgiveness.

Each of us has the opportunity to make a choice every day. We can choose to seek revenge, to get angry, to feed hate with violence, or else we can choose the uphill way. This road may seem much harder, but is essential for achieving the purpose for which we were born: learning to Love.
