Description
1 Giant Leap is a collaborative dvd project for the 21st century, which fuses music, words, sounds, rhythms and images from over 25 locations in 20 countries around the globe to celebrate diversity of musicians, story-tellers, authors, filmmakers, artists, entrepreneurs, artists, and thinkers from many different cultures. 1 Giant Leap is a title, a philosophy, a leap of faith that sprung from the minds of visionary UK musicians/visual artists Jamie Catto (Faithless) and Duncan Bridgeman. It is the embodiment of the unity in human diversity and a cross-cultural exploration of universal truth that is a global journey unto itself. 1 Giant Leap features: Kurt Vonnegut, Dennis Hopper, Ram Dass, Tom Robbins, Anita Roddick, Brian Eno, Michael Stipe (REM), Robbie Williams, Neneh Cherry, Speech (Arrested Development), Stewart Copeland, Baaba Maal, and many more.

World music, world travel, and worldly wisdom form the unified whole of the ambitiously bohemian DVD 1 Giant Leap. Creators Duncan Bridgeman and Jamie Catto cast themselves as globetrotting ambassadors of goodwill and good music, and they prove better as musical explorers than as filmmakers. The result is a flowing, loose-knit tapestry of imagery, interviews, and diverse performances. Gathering material from 25 countries and dozens of famous and not-so-famous musicians, authors, celebrities, spiritualists, philosophers, and unique individuals from nearly every cultural background, this enveloping DVD is best enjoyed as a soothing audiovisual odyssey (select "loop mode" for continuous play!). Assembling this cornucopia by theme (Time, Inspiration, Sex, God, Death, etc.), Bridgeman and Catto function as co-composers with an astonishing array of collaborators, giving 1 Giant Leap its richly international (and some might say inter-spiritual) identity. The result is a far-reaching glimpse of our world through the eyes of those who improve it by their musical presence. --Jeff Shannon

1 Awesome DVD!!! - Reviewed on 2008-04-11
I'm 55 years old but I believe I feel the pulse of what's hip/happening/current. I've been a musician all my life. What I believe is happening is that the self-created walls of imagined separetness are in the beginning stages of being dissolved and that's a very good thing as it invites the best of who we are to emerge after a rather long cacooning period. In this DVD you will see that emerging, an opening to our unity as a people on a tiny, beautiful planet spinning through space. We have some much to share with each other in expressing our basic goodness as seen in this DVD. For those of you "who think I'm a dreamer, I'm not the only one and some day you'll join us and the world will live as one." We choose how to create our lives, now is the time to become responsible for what we have created and begin to create anew in light of what we have learned, namely, "greed" & "separateness" are no longer acceptable behavior like jumping on the couch as a kid. The wise and truly visionary need to simply say "no"---no more greed, no more hatred and intolerance, no more lives based on fear, no more harm to others nor the enviornment,etc.
This DVD helps us all to awaken to our innate unity and celebrate our differences, love one another, enjoy each day. Have hope...this DVD will help you feel that hope is real and alive, growing more and more, becoming more visible. Buy this DVD and share it with others. Enjoy!
