EYE  for LOVE TOUR
A documentary


Picture
We Canadians think of ourselves as compassionate, having positive feelings  toward others. After all, we’re known around the world as peacemakers, leaders in diplomacy, humanitarians, and standard-bearers for equal rights.

But how are we really with each other? In our families and communities, in the marketplace, on the street? Where does love fit into our lives? Especially in this crazy age of social media--Facebook, Twitter, texting, Instagram...Have our values changed, morphed into a new way of relating to one another?
 
Moon Dog Theatre wanted to know! So we took our questions on the road for an entire month. By Greyhound bus from Ottawa to Victoria, with plenty of stops in between. It’s the Eye for Love Tour. And we invited people to follow our journey of discovery. We posted stories and updates on our TOUR BLOG as we made our way across the country and back. When we got home, we transcribed all the interviews and identified 12 themes or ways that people told us love showed up in their lives. We also interviewed a clinical psychologist who has published two books on love, and a Buddhist teacher on the role of love in spirituality. Now we've made a documentary to share this journey and what we discovered.

The Eye for Love Tour film premiered in Kelowna, British Columbia, in October 2017, and was also screened in Ottawa during the same month. Our first festival screening was at the World Community Film Festival - Kelowna in March 2018.

WHO IS MOON DOG THEATRE?

Moon Dog Theatre is a federal not-for-profit corporation, founded by Catherine Cunningham-Huston and Gene Bodzin, and located in Kelowna, British Columbia. Our work explores the human condition and the potential for transformation.

For our current project, we interviewed people from towns and cities across Canada. We talked to people we'd never met, from every walk of life. We wanted to find out how love shows up in their lives.

The Eye for Love Tour followed the TransCanada, an echo of the love pilgrimage by masses of hitchhiking youth in the 1960s and 1970s. Except we were on the bus. Actually, lots of buses! We gathered all kinds of stories—raw, inspiring, heartwarming, tender. Stories about love and loss, elation and disappointment. Complete strangers generously shared about their relationships with their family, their friends, their work, and their passions.

WHAT’S THE POINT?

Stories can be transformative—even healing. Many of the accounts we recorded are now in our documentary film—merging life and art. You may recognize your own bumpy journey on the road to understanding love. We hope you’ll be amazed and inspired.
