For the last year One Horizon Foundation has been working with Agora Financial (who published the book "Empire of Debt") and Open Sky Entertainment to produce a documentary film project on the topic of the U.S. Federal debt and related matters. Our desire to participate in this project was inspired in part by our belief that pervasive inter-generational debt is a significant source of dysfunction in human society, and is something that is clearly proscribed by the "jubilee" principle set forth in Deuteronomy 15. The principle of jubilee outlines a radical program of strategic debt relief designed to ensure that wealth is more evenly distributed within society and that debt (and the poverty that inevitably results from it) cannot continue to build and be passed from one generation to the next. Anyhow, these are extraordinary ideas that represent a rich inheritance from our forebearers in the faith, and are something for which we should be thankful. While the EOD documentary will not be coming at things from this kind of perspective, we're still excited to be part of a project that is seeking to raise consciousness about this vital issue. There is a brief article announcing the upcoming documentary at the weblink below.
