"A thought-provoking collection of essays. Don is the idealist's
idealist " -- Thom Hartmann, best selling author, radio personality
and host of The Big Picture A WORLD WITHOUT WAR is a compilation of
essays written since 2000 by activist producer and playwright Don
Thompson (Tibet in Song, Democracy: A Work in Progress, L.A. Book
of the Dead). Written for popular webzines such as The Potomac
Journal (ed. Michael Neff) and SolPix, the essays chronicle
important political and cultural issues and trends post 9/11 -- all
with Thompson's unique and independent perspective that often puts
a completely new spin on familiar topics. Displaying a combination
of wit, compassion and insight, the author leads you through a
series of ideas drawn from philosophy, history, the arts, new
media, business and technology -- all weaved into a cultural
critique whose basic premise is that we need to shape a different
world, a better world, A WORLD WITHOUT WAR. D.R. (Don) Thompson is
a producer/filmmaker, playwright and essayist. Thompson's film
projects have won multiple awards at festivals such as Sundance,
Movies that Matter, Cinema for Peace, New York Indie, and many
others. His plays have been staged coast-to-coast and lauded by The
New York Times, LA Times, Washington Post and others. Your Life Is
A Movie (Del Sol Press, 2006), an anthology of film and media
essays that Thompson co-edited with Filmmaker Magazine's Nicholas
Rombes, features well-known writers such as Todd Gitlin, Eric
Alterman, Ray Carney and Patricia Ducey. Thompson continues to
develop and produce humanitarian-themed documentary and feature
films through his production company nextPix.
