Excerpt from Richter Videos 7/12/82: John Shea | In Our Hands
In Our Hands
Directed and produced by Robert Richter and Stan Warnow, with 43 volunteer camera teams and 12 volunteer editors Documents June 12, 1982, a magic day in New York: the largest peace demonstration in history. An uplifting documentary, it interweaves performers, individual marchers and down-to-earth scenes of the massive gathering when one million people with one voice called for an end to the nuclear arms race. Capturing the magical spirit of that day with music, fun, tears, and a dazzling look at a cross-section of concerned humanity, "In Our Hands" is filled with high energy and warm feelings. Even the police were on the side of the demonstrators. The film features well-known performers and activists. The performers include: James Taylor, Carly Simon, Holly Near, Pete Seeger, Rita Marley, Peter, Paul and Mary, John Hall, Lucy Simon, Fred Moore, Judy Gorman Jacobs, Are & Be Ensemble, and House of the Lord Choir. Actors and Actresses: Meryl Streep, Roy Scheider, Orson Welles, Ellen Burstyn, Kathryn Walker, Bob Balaban, Jerry Stiller, Anne Meara and John Shea.
