As an independent filmmaker, he produced and directed more than ten films including the critically acclaimed feature film Sadhana - Back to the Source which had been screened in more than a hundred cinema theatres throughout Canada and USA.\nA few years ago Jean-Pierre decided to settle down and devote his time to writing. He is currently working on his first book, Blood for Freedom, which will tell the story of a lay missionary who embarks on a rewarding but very perilous journey among the Maya people of Guatemala in the late '70s when the fragile bridge between the indigenous population and the Ladino rulers is about to collapse. During his missionary adventure, he will strongly connect with the way the Mayas relate to the natural world and be involved in their struggle for survival.\nDuring his career, Jean-Pierre was awarded three script-writing grants by the Canada Council for the Arts.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000DZQIUS\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000DZQIUS.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Marcel Poulin; Bede Griffiths; Bhairav Muni; Swami Shyam; Swami Premananda|Jean Pierre Piche\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Dvd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
