Every
summer since 1972, Rainbow Gatherings have attracted tens of thousands
of people to a different U.S. National Forest. They create a temporary
city in the wilderness, complete with kitchens, plumbing, medical
care, sanitation, and childcare. The gathering culminates with an
elaborate and graceful prayer for Peace on the Fourth of July.
Gatherings
attract all different kinds of people, all for different reasons,
from all different places despite intense pressure from Federal
Law Enforcement who attempt to prohibit them. All of this happens
through the efforts of individuals without any formal organization
or leaders and without anyone buying a ticket or being paid for
their labor.
Three-time
Academy Award®-Nominated Producer Steve Kalafer’s newest
documentary 'We Love You' takes you to this mystical city that is
co-created once a year. In the remote meadows and forests of Wyoming
you'll see the achievement that is the Rainbow Gathering and meet
some of the people who attend. You will hear the campfire music,
drum circles, and prayer. You will be horrified as you witness the
violent oppression this group endures to pray for peace when Federal
Agents shoot tear gas into the children's area of the gathering.
Then you will feel inspired as thousands gather the very next day
and pray for peace.
