Jan 13 FFE Eco-Film “The Third Harmony” via Zoom

Join us online to view & discuss Bullfrog Communities film on nonviolence entitled “The Third Harmony.”

Register here today to join the Sisters and other Franciscans For Earth on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, from 6:30 to 8 pm Central via Zoom, for a free screening and discussion of the film The Third Harmony. The Laudato Si Commission of the Archdiocese of St Louis is co-sponsoring this film in order to promote nonviolence as a powerful way of life. To learn more about the commission, visit https://www.archstl.org/about/offices-and-agencies/ecumenical-interreligious-affairs-office-of/laudato-si-commission/.

Drawing on interviews with veteran activists like Civil Rights leader Bernard Lafayette, scientists like behaviorist Frans de Waal and neuroscientist Marco Iacoboni, Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, political scientist Erica Chenowith, futurist Elisabet Sahtouris and others, The Third Harmony will help the general public, often at a loss to understand the protests occurring in many cities, to better grasp just what nonviolence is and how it works. The film also delves into the important role that nonviolence plays in the wider struggle to develop a new theory of human nature, how every one of us can add to our personal growth and fulfillment while benefiting society through the use of  this time-tested power.

Filmmaker Michael Nagler is Professor Emeritus of Classics and Comparative Literature at UC Berkeley, where he founded the Peace and Conflict Studies Program. Nagler has spoken and written widely on the subject of peace and nonviolence for many years. expecially since 9/11. He has consulted for the US Institute of Peace and many other organizations and is President of the Board at METTA: Center for Nonviolence Education.
