Our Children's Future Is in Your Hands

Inspired by his desire to keep our Earth safe for later generations, American writer, actor, and filmmaker, Turk Pipkin, searches for answers about how we can work for a brighter future.

“Nobelity” is a “what can we do to help?” film. In his quest to understand and seek answers to the problems of the world, Pipkin interviews nine Nobel Laureates in Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Economics and Peace. They include Green Belt Movement founder Wangari Maathai (Peace, 2004), head of South African Reconciliation, Desmond Tutu (Peace, 1984), and nuclear physicist and disarmament activist Sir Joseph Rotblat (Peace, 1995), the 96-year-old nuclear scientist who joined forces with Albert Einstein to denounce atomic arms.

The film serves as an introduction and a wake-up call about the many problems that confront our planet: health care issues, land mines, nuclear weapons, the energy crisis, poverty, world hunger, environmental degradation, and the future of our children.

Yet, unlike documentaries that merely expose the problems, “Nobelity” is ultimately a film that inspires us to solve them. It emphasizes that one person can make a difference if he or she is willing to do something. Desmond Tutu expressed this with great eloquence: “The sea is actually made up of drops of water. What you do, where you are, is of significance.”

The message is that peace and a radiant future are not wishful, idealistic, impossible visions, but are a reality that can be realized through cooperation, humanitarian compassion and effort.
