Who is Greg Reitman, and why should anyone follow him on a quest to understand the transcendental, Gaia-encompassing truths he thinks might lead humanity to peace and health? God knows: Though the director finds it necessary to explain who Pete Seeger is when their paths cross, he hardly identifies himself in this well-meaning but inane doc — not that the lack of introduction keeps Reitman from sharing the details of his relationship troubles or belly-fat woes. This is filmmaking as self-therapy, and Reitman may be the only one who needs to see it.

PublicVine presents Sundance award-winning producer Greg Reitman screening his new film 'Rooted In Peace', which he also produced and directed. The event will be held today at the Funn Networks Club 301 located in the heart of Sundance on Main Street in Park City, Utah. The film will be screened using PublicVine, the social video marketplace, followed by a live question and answer session and after party with Reitman, PublicVine's Founder/CEO Nam Mokwunye, and producer/writer Scott Zarakin.
'Rooted In Peace' challenges viewers to examine their values as Americans and human beings.Reitman poses the basic question of "How do we want to live?", inviting viewers on a film journey to take notice of the world around them, proactively seek ways to find personal and ecological peace, and stop the cycle of violence. The film relies not only on memoir, but also interviews with such authorities as Deepak Chopra, media mogul Ted Turner, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
More About PublicVine:
PublicVine, which was designed at Stanford University by Nam Mokwunye, is the online and mobile social video marketplace-a platform, where video content vendors and consumers connect, transact, and get paid. PublicVine is venture-backed with $5.6 million and is partnering with film festivals, filmmakers, distributors, and other "video content vendors" to redefine the industry in a manner that is transparent, fair, and safe. Both video content vendors and consumers benefit from PublicVine's social invite, viral revenue sharing, and social apps systems. Much like a "video mall in the cloud", PublicVine allows video content vendors to set up unlimited channels and video stores from which they can rent out or sell video content directly to consumers. These transactions can happen in three streaming modes: video on demand (VOD), live programs, and TV/Radio broadcasts. When consumers rent or buy video content, it appears in their video library. They can also invite friends in their social network to rent or buy those videos. And when they do, they make a commission. And they can also make commissions on their friends' commissions.
But just as important to filmmakers is PublicVine's international reach. Through its relationship with global telecom operators, PublicVine offers video content vendors access to the 3 billion smart-device consumers in over 200 countries in which it is transactional. With no downloading, video content vendors retain 100% control of their video content, and can receive up to 79% of transaction revenue on each of their videos. Video content vendors can also make up to 79% on ad revenue and 20% of apps revenue that is generated on their channel(s). There is no fee to register, no NDAs, no exclusivity, and no loyalty contract.
"Greg Reitman's screening of 'Rooted In Peace' from his channel on PublicVine could be a first in film history," says Mokwunye. "This screening only gives us a glimpse of what is possible with PublicVine and what opportunities lie ahead for the industry-particularly for the 97% of filmmakers whose creations never make money. As a formerly practicing fine artist, I personally understand how important it is to receive pragmatic opportunities. PublicVine is one of those."...

Documentary filmmaker Greg Reitman urges us in his newest film project Rooted in Peace to take notice and ask ourselves: How do I want to live? Along his film production journey, the film team will be coordinating tree drives with the charity One Tree At A Time to plant one million ‘trees of life’ and aligning with Frendo’s fee-free platform for giving in an effort to end the vicious cycle of war and violence and promote world peace.
This comes at a perfect time being that September 21st is International Day of Peace.
Frendo is the first-ever fee-free donation platform for donors, fundraisers and charities that eliminates all fees to charities so every penny donated ends up in the pocket of the charity and not in the pockets of credit card companies and online merchants.
