Summer in the Forrest, GFT, 31 July – 2 August, 2017

Directed by Randall Wright (Hockney), Summer in the Forest beautifully captures the story and the passion of philosopher and Templeton Laureate, Jean Vanier. Vanier inspired a quiet revolution when he established L’Arche in 1964, a new community for those living with disabilities, on the edge of a beautiful forest near Paris. Without his vision, hundreds of people would have remained perceived ‘idiots’, institutionalised and hidden. Summer in the Forest highlights Vanier’s incredible insight – a catalyst to L’Arche communities opening all around the world.
