The award-winning documentary “The Kindness Within” by Greek-American Leon Logothetis will be screened at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry and the Maui Film Festival it was announced recently.
The documentary which follows Logothetis’ inspirational journey to mental well-being garnered top honors at the esteemed Beverly Hills Film Festival (BHFF) Awards Night Gala in May.
The film received the Golden Palm Award and was recognized as the Best Documentary on Sunday, May 5 at The Hollywood Roosevelt.
“It is such an honor to be included in this year’s festival [at Oregon] and my hope is The Kindness Within: A Journey to Freedom can offer hope and a counterbalance to the negativity we see in the world today,” Logothetis said.
“Whether you’re seeking inspiration, healing, or simply a deeper understanding of the world around you, there is so much to take away from this film.”
Leon Logothetis’s “Kindness Within” is a personal journey
A former stock broker, Leon Logothetis began his own personal journey after finding the courage to put down a suicide note and begin a quest for the meaning of life.
The first step on that journey was to pick up a book for a mystical yogi and then begin traveling the world in search for answers. The film features some of the world’s top spiritual leaders including Sadhguru, Neale Donald Walsh, Mike Dooley, and Yasmin Mogahed.
In this powerful documentary, Leon walks on the sands of the Ganges, speaks hushed Sufi prayers under the stars, meditates with Buddhist monks in the Himalayas and works side-by-side with what he calls “living saints” who selflessly serve foods to hundreds of thousands of people in need in the smoke-filled halls of “God’s Kitchen.”
An impressive team of accomplished industry veterans helped to create “The Kindness Within: A Journey to Freedom.” Director Steven Priovolos has been involved in hundreds of award-winning productions in 70 countries and his clients include Warner Brothers, Village Roadshow, National Geographic, Netflix, Hugo Boss, Maxx Factor, Panasonic and more.
The film’s award-winning Executive Producer Chris Philip noted, “This film has helped so many people with its message, I’m proud to be part of Leon’s passionate and impactful journey.”
The Kindness Within: A Journey to Freedom will be screened on August 24th at 2 pm at the Oregon Museum of Science & Industry. To learn more and get tickets, visit www.pdxfestofcinema.com.
