The Raven Foundation

The sad truth is that most of the violence taking place in the world today is done in the name of goodness. It is rare to find anyone, even the most apparently wicked and cold-hearted, who self-identifies as wantonly violent. We all claim that our violence is justified in the name of some greater good and sanctioned by God, country or a higher authority. In order to make violence unthinkable, we at the Raven Foundation work to expose the truth that violence makes all claims of being different from your enemy appear ridiculous since you are both involved in death and destruction. That is why at Raven we say that when you choose violence to achieve your ends, you must give up your claim to being good.

The Raven Video

We have developed a video that illustrates our ideas about violence. Here's a glimpse into the filming process.
