With awards ranging from international film festivals, to the annual TedTalks, the World Peace Game film directed by Chris Farina, as well as the man behind it, have made a splash across the globe. This event offers the local community the opportunity to hear about the experiences of these hometown heroes (John Hunter, Chris Farina) first hand.

It will also allow the audience the opportunity to check in with John Hunter and Chris Farina about their experience and what other plans they have in store.
