While Nobelity dealt with global problems, One Peace at a Time focuses on specific solutions, directed toward providing basic rights to every child.
Among the solutions Pipkin chronicles are the model Indian orphanages of The Miracle Foundation, the family planning initiatives of Thailand’s Population and Community Development Association and its founder, Mechai Viravaidya, Ethiopian water projects carried out by A Glimmer of Hope Foundation, and Architecture for Humanity’s global challenge to design housing affordable for communities most in need in areas as diverse as the Himalayas, the Amazon basin, and the slums of Nairobi.
It also features the insights of Muhammad Yunus, the first economist to win the Nobel Peace Prize, Sugata Mitra, instigator of the experiment known as Hole in the Wall or Minimally Invasive Education, Cameron Sinclair, founder of Architecture for Humanity, Caroline Boudreaux founder of The Miracle Foundation, and Steve Chu, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics and former U.S. Secretary of Energy.
In an attempt to find and document some of the inspiring efforts underway to begin to meet these challenges, Turk Pipkin spent three years filming One Peace at a Time.
In the process, he traveled to five continents and 20 countries, once again interviewed Nobel Laureates, and worked with diverse organizations such as CARE, A Glimmer of Hope Foundation, Architecture for Humanity, and the Population and Community Development Association.
