Cannes International Film Festival 2009

[Cannes] In May, Golden Year 6 (2009), fellow initiates from various countries in Europe gathered in Cannes of Southern France to promote the compassionate vegan lifestyle to visitors from all over the world during the International Film Festival. Two publicity vans displaying large posters with Master’s message in English and French, slowly toured the city of Cannes during the whole festival and attracted much attention.

 

The guards at the gate to the press offices repeatedly expressed their appreciation for the important work the initiates were doing and allowed the initiates to meet members of the media, film producers and other VIPs to inform them about the harmful effect of the meat diet and encourage them to spread the message of vegetarianism. Some film producers and directors said that they would like to make a film about the environment while Supreme Master TV was able to interview many vegetarian participants including actress Mrs. Marianne Borgo.

When learning that livestock is the main cause of Global Warming, many people including the policemen and gendarmeries were immediately in favour of helping spread the vegan message and requested more SOS flyers and DVD’s from us for their friends. The initiates were happy to discover many vegetarians attending the festival and the organizer of the Terra Festival in Guadeloupe, Mrs. Martine Sornay, has plans to bring the vegan message to this event.

Thanks to Master’s wonderful arrangements, our life-saving vegan promotion was very successful.
