    synopsis

    One Fine Day

    One Fine Day shows encounters with six extraordinary ordinary people, from various cultures and religions, who carried out a small nonviolent act that has had a major positive effect on society. We meet an American former athlete, a young Chilean Student, a retired Pastor in Germany, a Chinese youngster, a Burmese monk and a young woman in Iraq.

    The film investigates how frustration and anger can be transformed into actions that benefit our world and the people around us. What can one single individual achieve by taking the initiative – and what are the (often severe) consequences for that person?

    the people

    John Carlos (66)
    was one of the two black American athletes who stood on the winner’s podium at the 1968 Olympics and gave the Black Power salute to draw attention to the plight of black people in the US.

    Christian Führer (68)
    was the pastor at the East German Church of St Nicholas, Leipzig, in 1989. He organised a weekly prayer of peace that welcomed discontented citizens. These meetings led to silent processions, and they turned into the mass demonstrations that brought down the Berlin Wall.

    Kovida U (28)
    is a young Buddhist monk who helped initiate the popular uprising in Burma at the end of 2007.

    Maria Jesús Sanhueza (21)
    together with fellow secondary school students, organised a historic demonstration in Chile in 2006. Using only the Internet and phone texts she got 800,000 schoolchildren out on the streets to protest.

    Nic (24)
    is an ordinary Chinese youngster with problems like everyone else. But he has a strong social conscience. The Chinese state censor removes articles about social injustices from the Internet, but there are young people out there who secretly republish them online.

    Rania Ibrahim (18)
    was a young Iraqi suicide bomber. In August 2008 she decided at the very last moment not to blow herself up.
