THE ART OF BEING HUMAN:
A Portrait of Frederick Franck


28 minutes
Grades 7-Adult
Produced by Leonard M. Marks and Peter Laurence
Written and Directed by Emily Squires

This is an inspirational portrait of the artist Frederick Franck, author of "The Zen of Seeing". Born on the border of Holland and Belgium, where both World Wars began, Franck has seen first hand the horrors of modern warfare. Living now in upstate New York, his life's work - through painting, sculpture, and books - has been to help people see the humanity in others, so that they will not be able to tolerate or be involved in violence towards others. It's a message with particular significance in the wake of Bosnia, Rwanda, and Oklahoma City.

"One of a rare and precious breed - an authentic troubadour... He quietly roams our materialistic world and shows us that even here, even now, there is hope for our soul."     Jacob Needleman, author of "Money and the Meaning of Life"

"I sometimes believe his artist's eye must be the secret. He simply sees things most people do not."     Harvey Cox, author of "Many Mansions"

"His words and drawings make us see the world as a place where, with more understanding and tolerance, we could all live together in harmony."     Rhena Schweitzer Miller, daughter of Albert Schweitzer
