This peace music video features a narrated story over a soothing piano score. It is an allegory, a story in which people, things and events have symbolic meaning.
A tired teenager, wondering which direction to take at a traffic light, dreams a vision of an alternative People-Centered world. In the dream, children play out life experiences that result from the choices and relationships we make. They play out the big story of our times - the SHIFT to a new world that works for all.
We need to 'WAKE UP AND CHOSE ANOTHER PATH' by facing 4 facts: 1) the current POWER structure lies to us, 2) Find a new path, 3) Find new friends for this new path, 4) Find a world where the POWER structure supports our relationships and peace not war.
The ending identifies Pacifica Radio (www.pacifica.org) and KPFK (www.kpfk.org) as a radio resource for peace and friendship.
Story narrated and music performed by Porfirio Aguilar.
