Things have been very busy for us, as we have been making great headway on the documentary. We are getting learning much about Costa Rica, and we have spoken with many interesting and insightful people. The warm receptions that we have received from individuals and organizations has made us feel much more at home here.
We have seen so much in the past two weeks. We visited Centro de Amigos para la Paz, who run the hostel Casa Ridgway, where we heard Honduran author Jorge Miralda speak about his recent book and the coup in Honduras. We then visited the University for Peace, the only UN mandated graduate school for peace and conflict studies. Yesterday we spent a day at a high school in the town of Santa Ana. Luckily, we had a chance to speak with a teacher there who is certified in peace education by the Rasur Foundation.
We apologize that this is such a short update. Blog posts in the not-too-distant future will cover more of the details, and there will be video clips of some of our footage posted soon. Thanks for keeping track of our project!

3 filmmakers. 3 months. 1 documentary on peace in Costa Rica.
What is this?
We are recent graduates of Brandeis University (Jonah Cohen, Ned Crowley, and Alex Epps), and we are traveling to Costa Rica during the summer of 2010 to film a short documentary about the culture of peace that exists there. Costa Rica has, to an extent, institutionalized peace in its federal government and education system. We hope to tell its story of peace.
This project is funded by a Davis Projects for Peace grant awarded to Jonah Cohen and Ned Crowley in April 2010.
