THE PRINCIPLE
A Film for Peace About Cyber-Bullying
Throughout history, bullying in all its forms – from schoolyard fights to catastrophic international wars – has destroyed millions of lives. Tragically, the global reach and 24-hour accessibility of today’s Internet and social media platforms make cyber-bullying an even more serious problem than traditional bullying because it affects more people and is rapidly spreading.
Cyber-bullying has now risen to dangerous levels among adolescents and teens and many are tormented on a regular basis. Often these victims are too ashamed to tell their parents or ask for help, and can develop psychological problems. Left unaddressed, some of the victims resort to suicide. Others become bullies themselves, and in their new role, create a new generation of bullies.
One of the greatest ways to capture the attention and teach our world about bullying is through film. One healing film that goes viral can quickly impact more hearts and minds than one million classes on the same subject.
John’s first film about the Middle East conflict, Admissions, won 26 international awards. He has now written a second teaching film called The Principle which is a modern parable that addresses cyber-bullying. He is directing the film and is currently in development.
In The Principle, a wise master is called upon to moderate between two teenagers – a cold-hearted cyber-bully and his tragic victim. In this unforgettable confrontation, the master delivers profound, life-changing teachings that alter both the bully’s and the victim’s destinies.
The Principle is a fiscally sponsored project at PEPSTAR.org.
The Theme Song to The Principle

LOVE BEING
I was living my life and I needed to switch
So I went searching for a better groove
When I entered your space you know I felt something shift
That’s when I first got my bliss from you
You had the feel of such beautiful truth
A love being meant to raise my mind
I feel you in my head you got a hold on me
And I want no way out of this paradise
I like the things that you said
And how you came to see
There’s more to life than we realize
You have the feel of such beautiful truth
A love being meant to raise my mind
You felt so good I moved closer to you
Found heaven now I love being alive
There was never a doubt when the truth came out
We all came from love from the mind up above
It’s not what we do it’s not what we have
The only thing that matters is what lasts
In the happy end love’s what we are
And the proof’s in you my shining star
You have the feel of such beautiful truth
A love being meant to raise my mind
You felt so good I moved closer to you yeah
Found heaven and now I love being alive
It goes deeper than thought to the source of being
Something earthly eyes are not trained to see
So look with your heart and get beyond all form
Find the reason why you were ever born
You have the feel of such beautiful truth
A love being meant to raise my mind my mind.
Followed my heart and moved closer to you
Found heaven now I love being alive
