Garry's story is truly interesting, inspiring, and instructive. He points
the way to our common future, if we are to have a future.
Garry's World Citizen vision is the kind of sublime audacity the world needs right now.

Hopeful I have always felt like a world citizen It can
be such a beautiful world to live in
Hopeful and interested in learning more as a real possibility and

I am a world citizen and my country is the world!"
I am an activist and have not seen much change in the society, but am hopeful.
I am encouraged that there has already been so much done that I
was unaware of, that recognizes our world's one-ness in a hopeful,
courageous way. Learning how to give shape to what
we want and know to be true already just makes sense.
I am extremely impressed with Garry's story. I would like to thank all producers.
Let's try our best to make the whole world truly belong to all human beings.
I am ready to do it: be peaceful to everybody and to be the world citizen which means to look for common shared values as humans far from treating each other on any kind of boundary
I am very hopeful that world peace is possible in my lifetime.
I feel empowered to fight for international law and to stand up and say
the majority of humanity is against war, nuclear weapons, and corporate exploitation. Let’s stop it now!
I cried, was so deeply moved. When I saw the city Of Munich, Germany, bombed to threats at age 7, I promised to work as a grown up so this never would happen again. Later I worked for 23 years for the UN, but eventually resigned realizing it had nothing to do with my dreams of a peaceful world. I became a midwife to help bring about peaceful and loving beginnings in sacred Home Birth. Your film touched me deeply. Whenever asked what nationality I am, I have always said citizen of Mothers Earth, as I have always considered my German Passport like a plane ticket which had nothing to do with me, just a necessary piece of paper.
And your film showed me I am not alone or crazy (like some people affectionately like to think of me). Thank you so much!
I felt excited! My husband watched it with me. He felt "This is the beginning of a serious movement!"
I felt happy - I loved the message Garry Davis provided!
I felt hopeful and inspired after seeing this remarkable film!
I felt I am in charge of making good for the world. Everything I do is for the world and not just for my nation.
I felt inspired and grateful to be a World Citizen. Garry Davis ran for US President on the World Citizen ticket in 1988 and I was his Vice Presidential running mate. I wish it was twice as long! Great movie. Congratulations Arthur and Melanie!
I felt like -- where have I been when all this 'history' was happening?
I felt moved and inspired to ask questions and find out more.
I felt uplifted, encouraged, re-energized.
empowered, like I could actually be FREE!!
I felt very motivated about accomplishing my own goals. I thought it was so amazing how one man was able to create an organization that actually lets people use world passports.
I forwarded the news to many friends and families (Laila)
I had not heard of Gary Davis or the movement he started until viewing this film. The approach the film maker took to explaining Gary Davis' story and the importance of the social movement he started was informative and entertaining. What Gary Davis was trying to do is even more important today as the world arms race rapidly escalates. The film is a great spring board for discussions on strategies for reducing the arms race and ending the use of war to resolve conflicts. (Jack Friedlander)
I loved the movie at the Mpls St.Paul film festival
A powerful story! A story of power! Delightful to see and very inspiring!
Thank you for your work and for living your values.
I plan to apply for and travel on the World Passport as a legal means of non-participation in the obsolete nation-state system and to exercise my human rights in solidarity with every stateless individual on Earth. Thank you Garry Davis and World Service Authority.
I think it was great how you kept such a heavy subject light
by presenting Garry as the 'song and dance' man he was true to till the end.
I think using animation and having Martin Sheen introduce the production
kept it entertaining, non-stodgy and honest.
I want a world passport
I want to be a World Citizen.
I want to be and am a world citizen, but I'm also a citizen of Cincinnati, Ohio,
the United States of America, a world parliament, and a democratic world federation.
I want to be part of the movement.
I want to become a citizen of the world
I want to get a World Citizen Passport
and work for peace
I was deeply moved by Garry Davis' story, and how he walked his talk. His words and actions were inspiring, and I now have a list of things I want to look into. Thank you.
I was ready to join the world Citizens movement and I loved being the finale and welcoming Garry and you both to my home. (Barbara Muller)
I was surprised. I knew it had happened, I learned about this in Political Science but I had forgotten. It's an important part of World History that needs more attention. (Marie Rivard)
I wish I had known about Garry's story earlier--what a beautiful human being he was!
I wish I had known about the World Service Authority years ago!
I've been looking for this a long time I called myself "citizen of earth"

Interested
Intrigued
It gives me hope and encouragement to continue my fight against the
lawless corporate Nation States we are forced to live in today!
It's inspirational. Everyone should see this film.
It was inspiring that there is such an abundance of activism.
It was interesting to get all of Garry Davis's life story. I'd heard of him
and his World Citizen idea for many years, and had my own idea even
before that one should think of oneself as a member of the world,
not just a small regional part of it. Hearing the story from him
personally was impressive and really a historical treasure.
I was surprised. I knew it had happened, I learned about this in Political Science but I had forgotten. It's an important part of World History that needs more attention. (Marie Rivard)
It was touching to learn about the dedication, hardships and progress of Gary and his idea. (Nina)
JOYFUL
Joyful homecoming
Joyous and Hopeful
Like I belonged
More hopeful, and wondering again why my classes in history were incomplete!
Moved, inspired by Garry's vision, hopeful, encouraged, motivated to more action.
Mr Garry Davis is an amazing person, watching him telling his own story was moving. He is a reference since he was and he is still ahead of all of us
humanly and socially speaking, he shows us the way for living peacefully together, We the «earthlings».
Much better to see people without borders, separation causes animosity
and this film gave me hope and a positive path.
My wish is that every young person will be able to watch this, preferably in a group, and then be able to dialogue about what this means to their individual and collective future.
New thoughts about humanity and its possible power.
Optimistic about Unity consciousness
Peace and love
My brain!!! It's changed!
Positive, Hopeful, --with desire to keep working to achieve Garry's,
also my goal: to be a true world citizen
Positive, like if we stick together change can happen.
Ready to get my world citizen passport.
Ready to take action
Rejuvenated (I am in my 90th year)
Sad that we are not already living together as one on our small planet.
Stirred and confounded: with 72 years of my own modest activism behind me,
I've been exposed to a plethora of astute ideas and involved in
organizations focused on localand world community, as well
as on saving our planet and ourselves from ourselves, as it were.
The inescapable despair of currently living in a 'worst of times' epoch
and my concerns about the survival and fate of my children, grandchildren
and great grandchildren (a rainbow crew who hail from six different countries and cultures, thus a mini-embodiment of Garry's vision) color every scrap of world news
I'm exposed to these days. I hope this film re-boots Garry's legacy
(which also harks back to World Federalism in my mind), accelerates
his program and helps lead us away from the insane path we're following at present.
Studious
Tapped into my natural tenderness; hopeful and energized
TEARS OF GRATITUDE; HEART FILLED WITH RENEWED HOPE
Tears of joy and hope
Terrific
That I am a citizen of the world and support this!
That I should continue to work for human rights and that there are others
who believe in this as well
That the light of peace is shining
The film is a testament to deepest truth of our true connections to each
other as citizen of one planet.
The film made me Happy and sad but also inspired
to bring the planet whole
The producer Arthur Kanegis obviously has both a personal and an emotional connection to the movie making this a fine demonstration of translating the creative vision to the people in this inspiring movie. (Lee Benton)
The same shame of the U.S. that I felt as a Field Medical
Technician during my second tour in Vietnam.
This film gives evidence of people
living with human rights without walls between countries dividing and
conquering in wars to establish power and not care and love.
This is a great documentary which should be shown as widely as possible,
especially to young people. It shows what the vision, courage and determination
of one individual can accomplish, against all the odds. Dreams can come true!
The rich historic footage greatly adds to the appeal of this wonderful film.
This is a piece of history that should be in every history book. It is a movement
that should that should be beyond all movements. It addresses the painful separation that plagues us all on the personal to the global level.
It celebrates the solution of one people, one one heart, one world. Who wouldn't feel joyful?
This was a beautiful and inspiring story of a wonderful man. I'm amazed that I hadn't heard about him before! What one person can do when they have
depth of integrity and a free and loving heart is so beautiful and gives hope for
our transition into a more Golden time. What an amazing Seeker of the Truth. i am Very grateful for his and your offering of Love.
Thoughtful, inspired
United we can all put a stop to wars, so that our children\grandchildren can enjoy
living in a Peaceful world.
Uplifted
Uplifted and challenged to join.
Uplifted and inspired by a movement that began before I was born and was NEVER mentioned in any of my studies or textbooks in school as a young child and/or university studies in the United States. For example, the information about the wording and the rights defined in the Ninth Amendment was enlightening to learn about. I never knew this before!
Uplifted and upbeat, before learning of World Citizen, I've identified myself as a Global Citizen.
Uplifted, joyous, hopeful and inspired to get another passport, the next level.
Admiring Davis for his courage and dedication
Uplifted, like I found my way home!
Very eye-opening. Loved the comprehensive historical context, very grounding.
Loved the clarity with which the true nature and intent of Garry Davis is conveyed.
An amazing human being that I had never heard of.
This is an inspiring movie and idea that I want to share.
Very inspired!
Very inspired. I am validated.
Very positive and connected to all others in the world.
Very thankful and more hopeful that world peace could be possible.
Well I know I have ingested something meaningful because I was tearful.
What an excellent film about a very courageous and inspiring person, not afraid of taking risks, while having a vision of a world government built upon the foundations of human rights.
Why don't more people advocate against war? Everyone should take the time to see this film. (Eric Unger)
Wonderful emotions crossing my mind. Best feelings of the brotherhood of the human being. With a lot of wishes to share it everyone and everywhere.
World Peace is possible.
Wow
Yes
