Scared Sacred

“Visiting the ‘Ground Zeros’ of the planet, filmmaker Velcrow Ripper asks
if it’s possible to find hope in the darkest moments of human history. He
travels to the minefields of Cambodia; war-torn Afghanistan; the toxic

Palestine. In each place, he unearths unforgettable stories of survival,
ritual, and recovery.”
