Film producer Pete Allman, whose credits include controversial films such as “Brando Unauthorized,” is passionate about his latest subject: peace.

He’s showing the 19-minute version of “Winds Of Freedom” at 11:45 a.m. Friday, July 14, at Hotel Laguna to Rotary Club members.

The film shows how music, graphics and video can educate people for peace, says a statement from partner Alex Ayzin, who defected 37 years ago from the Soviet Union. 
”We must realize how dangerous the conflicts are in the world. There can not be a nuclear war ever,” states Allman.
