A film created by the communication Globe will make the invitation to the walk. The stones, they turned guns on recent events of religious intolerance in Brazil, win now a new sense. At the beginning of the work, are shown just hands, gathering stones along the way. On off, a voiceover reveals that Brazil is experiencing a moment of religious intolerance, with often fatal reactions. The need for change and the first step for it to happen is revealed with the real purpose of the stones collected: the construction of the word tolerance, the largest of all the weapons in the struggle for people to have freedom to choose their faith. That's the cue for the invitation to all people to participate in the actions carried out in partnership between Globe and the Commission to combat religious intolerance.
