Originally, my piece was going to be a profile of all the people who hang out on a particular downtown Durham street corner every Saturday, protesting the war. I went to these interviews a little exasperated with the downtown protest group, even though I'd never met any of them. Standing on a street corner seemed a very passive way of protesting, and one that obviously wasn't working. I still think it's going to take more to stop the war than holding a sign and hoping people read it, but making this piece helped me understand why Alan Wolf feels that he has to participate in this particular protest-- if he doesn't, who will?

Review of Alan Wolf
This interview with Alan Wolf is about something bigger then just opposing war. Its about the heart and soul of the peace movement. When people come together and believe in something a difference can be made. Sub-consiously most people know this, so why aren't more people rallying and protesting this war? Where is the belief?
This piece made me realize that more needs to be done to stop this war. And the action can start with me. Alan Wolfs strong belief in peace is touching and inspiring. It reinforces the thought that you dont have to have lost anyone in this war to make a stand for peace, you can just mobalize your beliefs and commit to peace. This piece is beautifully put together, and has real meaning. I look foward to hearing more from Lena Eckert-Erdheim.
