August 28, 2008

In this 22-minute short film, “Celebrate What’s Right With The World”,
Dewitt Jones (world-class photojournalist for the National Geographic)
asks: “Do we choose to see possibilities? Do we really believe they’re

He assures us that there is always more than one right answer.
Celebrating what’s right with the world helps us recognize the

This inspirational, best-selling film utilizes stunning photography and
powerful dialogue to help viewers approach their lives with

“As I celebrated what was right with the world, I began to
build a vision of possibility, not scarcity. Possibility… always
another right answer.” - Dewitt Jones
