Ripples Of Hope
"Ripples of Hope" is the combined effort of 12 students working together for over three months. After being inspired by the work of Kerry Kennedy's book Speak Truth to Power, and the adapted play by Ariel Dorfman entitled Speak Truth to Power, Voices from Beyond the Dark, they were eager to start their own performance that would encourage others to reach out to repair the world. Borrowing from the format of Kennedy's book and Dorfman's adaptation, the students wanted to branch out by researching and presenting their own defenders--many of whom are from the past, with others representing unsung defenders from around the world today.
