Anima Mundi is an independently produced, homegrown, grassroots documentary made with very low embodied fossil-fuel energy, but with lots of love and synchronicity. This is the first feature documentary by film-maker Peter Charles Downey, born October 30 1970, who only began making films in 2007 with a background as an artist, musician and activist. Funds raised from the sale of Anima Mundi are going towards future United Natures documentary film projects.
