Very few movies actually question what happiness is, or suggest ways that it can be sustained. The film sks this question and in doing so takes you out of your mind, and those who would consider themselves sane would be 'out of their minds' not to see it. The Peaceful Warrior is an important film, an inspiring film, and a film that could change lives." -Sting
