The cosmic perspective must be applied to our daily life. Fanatical ethnic, religious or national chauvinisms are difficult to support when we see our planet as a fragile dot lost in an ocean. The strong evidence about our insignificance is a good reason for humility. Moreover, by observing the life in those remote villages, the audience remembers that humans are all truly so similar.

I believe this film should be made because the poetic and dramatic side of science is absent from our pop culture and from our daily life. This film should be made because generations of people live and die without being exposed to certain facts. These facts are absolutely comprehensible for everybody of any age or cultural background. They touch a common chord deep inside us, and make us remember our cosmic connection like an almost forgotten childhood song. These facts and this film do not exclude any nation, race, religion or ideology. We are in this journey all together.

For more than two years I have been obsessed with these thoughts. You cannot know them and wake up the next day pretending you don’t. They haunt you forever. Meanwhile as an immigrant; every day I can feel the global need for more kindness and compassion. We’ve grown so apart, intimidated by our meaningless diversities. Yet deep inside us, we know we’re connected to each other. After millions of years we have not forgotten.
