The Fair Trade is part of an evening of screening films made by people at Fuller Theological Seminary. There will be 3 shorts screened before our film and then a Q&A panel afterward, moderated by author, screenwriter and Fuller professor Craig Detweiler.

The shorts are "L.A. Actors," "Spin," and "Weathered."

The film "We...athered" is a short made by our friends Matt Barber and Matt Webb, and is co-starring our friend and colleague Tony Hale.

This will be an awesome evening! Free to all! Travis Auditorium is a great small venue. Bring your friends.Read More

The Fair Trade
When an accident kills her fiancé, 25 year old Tamara Johnston quits a dream job to try to make sense of her new unwanted life. Grief intensifies both a desire to die and her deepening faith, resulting in a fierce deadline: show me something better than death, or I am out of here. Johnston launches a business, becomes ...an activist, develops her artistic passion, and risks love again but none of it is enough. As time passes in her bargain with God, an opportune trip to Africa gives her a glimpse of what is required of her in exchange for a sustainable life. This bonus footage comes from Lauren Miller, one of Tamara's friends at her old job, who talks about the first time she met Tom Hanks.Read More

The Fair Trade
The Fair Trade movie is an innovative documentary film by Burning Heart Productions director Lauralee Farrer recounting the story of successful fair trade entrepreneur Tamara Johnston. Johnston, devastated by the tragic death of her fiancé, makes a bargain with God to postpone suicide in exchange for a meaningful life.... She quits her job at Dreamworks, her twin sister Shelby quits her job teaching art history at California State University at Los Angeles, and brother-in-law Steven quits his job at JPL in order to spend their days making soap for their start up fair trade skincare company Anti-Body. Johnston becomes an activist for human rights and social justice causes, but despair over her loss remains unabated for several years. As she nears the deadline of her bargain, a trip to Kenya for Heifer International allows her to visit the fair trade co-op in Togo, Africa, from which Anti-Body buys its organic shea butter. There, she finds a surprising answer to what is required of her in exchange for a sustainable life.Read More
