"We have the ability to provide clean water for every man, woman and child on the Earth. What has been lacking is the collective will to accomplish this. What are we waiting for? This is the commitment we need to make to the world, now." 

-Jean-Michel Cousteau

One of my favorite documentaries is a beautiful film called The Philosopher Kings by Transcendental Media. It is a must-see film that allows for an insight into the lives of people who are often overlooked--the custodial staff.  It is a true testimony to the intricacies of human lives and the wisdom, beauty, hopes and dreams of those lives--regardless of social status or position of employment. 

I have never stopped thinking about this movie since the day I saw it, and one of the stories in particular had a powerful impact on me. His name is Josue Lajeunesse, and he works as a janitor at Princeton University during the day and drives a taxicab at night in order to support his family in Haiti. The talented filmmakers behind The Philosopher Kings could not forget Josue's inspirational story, either. They have been working on another documentary named after the town of Josue's family, La Source. This film tells the story of Josue and his brother and their determination and passion to bring hope to their village through a large scale effort. Hit hard by the global water crisis, getting water in La Source means either a dangerous journey or risk of contamination. This documentary will serve as a tool for an action campaign to bring clean water to the village and change the lives of the people who live there. 

That's where we all come in. Transcendental Media is currently raising the money needed to make this campaign a success, and even a $1 makes a difference. Holstee is thrilled to offer a free Manifesto poster to the first five people to donate $250 to support the La Source Social Action Campaign. You can learn more about the film and donate to the cause here.
