After a bike wreck which resulted in months of severe pain, director Tom Shadyac (Ace Ventura, Bruce Almighty), sold his house, moved into a trailer park and set out to find the answer to broad questions that have confused great minds for a long time: What's wrong with this world and how can it be fixed? After picking the brains of scientific, religious and philosophical movers and shakers around the globe — such as Noam Chomsky, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Lynne McTaggart — he gained faith, realizing there is greater interconnectivity at the core of humanity than we ever imagined. He then explored how to harvest it in order to live stronger as a global community. His findings have been formed into the touching documentary I AM, which screens at the Maumee Indoor Theatre on Saturday, May 26. The film is sponsored by The Center for Conscious Living. $5. 2-4pm. Maumee Indoor Theatre, 601 Conant St. 419-897-8902
