A film written by Buddhist author and peace-builder Daisaku Ikeda won the Golden Reel Award for Best Short Film at the third annual Tiburon International Film Festival on Friday, March 19th. Another Way of Seeing Things is a short film produced by Arden Entertainment about the dangers of stereotyping and the need to "hear the other side."

Filmed in Turkey in 2003 and narrated by Academy Award-winning actor F. Murray Abraham, Another Way of Seeing Things tells the story of British historian Arnold Toynbee's experiences as a journalist covering the Greco-Turkish war in the 1920s. He listened to both sides and attempted to counteract the prevailing bias against Turks - and Muslims in general.
