"exploring the lives of individuals united through music"

Northern Ireland, a place where conflict has been embedded in history between two main religions.
So what happens when the world arrives bringing new cultures, religions and traditions?
Are we really all that different or do we have more in common than we realize?

Exploring the human spirit that we all share regardless of our individuality,
this film is a snapshot of a two year journey featuring musicians living within Northern Ireland representing various communities whose lives have collided through the good relations music project 'Motion'.

The purpose of the film is to address racism & sectarianism by revealing an understanding and similarities between people from different backgrounds who share one common interest, music.

Every human being is on a journey to find their place in the world and though 'Journey of Equals' uses music as a common thread, the greater underlying message is that we ALL have the need to feel valued in participating in the theatre of life.

In relation to the environment of Northern Ireland at the release time of this film (2008) the journey is by far but over. As a community we may be getting a fresh opportunity to meet the world but in reality we haven't even left the station yet. The journey is just beginning...

The project has been developed through a series of workshops with participation with musicians representing various cultural backgrounds, directed & produced by Carol Moore in partnership with organisation 'Beyond Skin'.

Funded by Belfast City Council (Good Relations), Community Relations Council & Community Foundation for Northern Ireland (Peace II measure 2.7).
