List of peace activists

List of peace activists


This list of peace activists includes people who proactively advocate or advocated diplomatic, non-military resolution of major territorial or ideological disputes through nonviolent means and methods. Peace activists usually work with others in the overall peace movement to focus the world's attention on the irrationality of violent conflicts, decisions, and actions. They thus initiate and facillitate wide public dialogues aimed at nonviolently altering long-standing societal agreements directly related and held in place by the various irrational, violent, and historically fearful thought-processes at the core of these conflicts, with the intention of peacefully ending the conflicts themselves.

Film adaptations Bob Marley

Film adaptations

In February 2008, director Martin Scorsese announced his intention to produce a documentary movie on Marley. The film was set to be released on 6 February 2010, on what would have been Marley's 65th birthday. However, Scorsese dropped out due to scheduling problems. He was replaced by Jonathan Demme, who dropped out due to creative differences with producer Steve Bing during the beginning of editing. Kevin Macdonald replaced Demme and the film, Marley, was released on 20 April 2012.
In March 2008, The Weinstein Company announced its plans to produce a biopic of Bob Marley, based on the book No Woman No Cry: My Life With Bob Marley by Rita Marley. Rudy Langlais will produce the script by Lizzie Borden and Rita Marley will be executive producer.
Ex-girlfriend and filmmaker Esther Anderson, along with Gian Godoy, made the documentary Bob Marley: The Making of a Legend, which premiered at the Edinburgh International Film Festival in 2011.
In 2012, director Kevin McDonald teamed with the Marley family to make the documentary, Marley. It was entered as a film for SXSW Film Festival and Hot Docs 2012.
