BuddhaFest is proud to present the world premiere of Colors Of Compassion: The Teachings Of Thich Nhat Hanh.

The film highlights interviews with participants and monastics as they reflect on the dharma and its meaning in their lives. Issues such as discrimination, alienation, and displacement, all of which give rise to anger and suffering, are discussed in candid and heartfelt interviews.
