Fambul Tok
A Film About The Power of Forgiveness
Sara Terry’s powerful, award-winning film documents the rebuilding of a nation on the foundation of forgiveness.

A How-To-Guide on Peacemaking, Reconciliation, Trust-Building, Shared Healing and Transformation, featuring the work of Fambul Tok founder, humanitarian and conflict “resolutionary”, John Caulker, and dedicated colleagues and community members, as they reweave the fabric of Sierra Leone together...healing one person, one family, one community, one district at a time.

Fambul Tok's Press

“Director Sara Terry brings a career’s worth of journalism experience to this assured filmmaking debut that examines John Caulker’s Fambul Tok organization, which addresses the deep wounds created by a decade of civil war in Sierra Leone.” 

— Hollywood Reporter

“Philosophers and theologians have long maintained that there’s tremendous power in the act of forgiveness, though rarely has its impact been illustrated as eloquently as in this documentary. Those interested in alternative means of making peace will be intrigued by the quiet power of this profoundly moving film.”

— VitalLife.me

“The message of forgiveness is something we can all take away from this film, and perhaps by watching, we’ll find ways to make our own lives better.”

— Female Eye Film Festival

Special Bonus Short Film
Sonoma County Premiere
The Peace Mothers

In the deep healing of disclosure, apology, forgiveness and reconciliation, Sierra Leone's women are finding their voices and their individual and shared power to heal and lead. This five-minute short features  Sierra Leone’s Peace Mothers transforming the Fambul Tok peacemaking process into a peacekeeping approach ... rebuilding kinships, community, civic, participatory governance, educational and economic life for all.

Kids Tok Peace Clubs born out of Fambul Tok’s peacemaking process are flowering and making peace in schools in Sierra Leone, the UK and in the USA.
