Tushar Gandhi, Grammy Award winner David Sandborn and Grammy Nominated Nawang Khechog together with Filmmaker Leon Stuparich the gathering of great minds and talent for ROAD TO PEACE.

New York, New York (PRWEB) October 16, 2012

London filmmaker, Leon Stuparich followed The Dalai Lama for two weeks as he traveled around Great Britain. This intimate documentary candidly reveals his nature and wisdom, and shows how he inspires millions of people of all nationalities and creeds to live more meaningful lives in harmony with each other and with the planet on which we live.

Leon Stuparich was driven to make this film "partially because of my own curiosity about the man behind the myth. What does he do behind the scenes? Does he really have the incredible presence that people who have met him always refer to? In addition, like anyone else who is striving for happiness, I hoped that what he shared would move me in some way, and teach me how to live a more centered, peaceful life. I was not disappointed."

The VIP PREMIERE will open with a performance by Grammy nominated Nawang Khechog who will arrive right after performing at the Lincoln Center event for The Dalai Lama.The evening's festivities will include Leon Stuparich, Tushar Gandhi, and Grammy Award winner David Sanborn. Gandhi and Stuparich will have an in-depth discussion about Universal Responsibility and audience Q &A.
