Human interaction and cross-cultural relationships are the bedrock of our existence and possibly the most important part of the continuation of society. Way of Life is the story of a group of people, from Nepal, India, Europe and America who work together in a small international NGO that benefits people in some of the least developed areas of the world. At the center of it all is the unique tale of Michael Daube, a young man from small town America who, in1989, finds a valuable piece of art in the garbage, sells it at auction and builds a hospital in one of the most remote areas of India. This altruistic gesture evolves into a rich and satisfying way of life.
Interviews with Daube, his colleagues and friends lend context, humor and insight as we travel around the world jumping back and forth in time. Intimate scenes in remote areas allow the audience to experience how easy it would be to find ourselves in these places and situations and how easy it can be to touch the lives of so many. This Way of Life shows us all that human interaction and relationships are the bedrock of our existence and possibly the most important part of the continuation of society.
Vignettes shot on location in Nepal, India, England and the United States allow us to experience a myriad of moments firsthand. Whether discussing the needs of school children or visiting a village family during the death of the grandfather, we are brought to the intersection of our cultural differences, our emotions and our intentions.
