Old Friends

Set to a song by The Judds, "Love Can Build a Bridge," this spot represents people with different points of view united by a common bond. They might get together on a regular basis to enjoy each other's similarities and appreciate each other's differences. The bond they share is also a fun one. The setting is outside in a park where this kind of meeting might be more likely to happen - and food is always a good thing to get together over.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

WOMAN: My father taught me a lot about life without ever saying a word. When I was a little girl my friends were all just like me. His never were.
JEW: Hello, Hello.
CHRISTIAN: Didn’t you bring them, George?
JEW: I thought you were going to.
CHRISTIAN: No, no. I brought them last time.
JEW: You are right (laugh) I forgot! All right, all right.
WOMAN: I used to wonder why would a Jew, a Christian, and a Muslim ever get together?
JEW/CHRISTIAN: It was him!
WOMAN: And then I got it, they had a lot more in common than donuts.
MUSIC: Love can build a bridge, love and only love, between your heart and mine.
ANNCR/SUPER: Friendship… Pass it on. A message from The Foundation for a Better Life.

This is wonderful. I love seeing these positive, possible relationships. We all have more commonalities than differences. Thank you.

Love and Friendship, if we have this, we cannot be called "poor"

Claudia from Wilhelmshaven, Germany, June 5, 2016

This video shows us that not matter the economic situation or religion beliefs in order to have a good friend, who will be with you in every moment.

Are you seeing from the heart?

Ceil from Amity Hill, NC, January 22, 2014

Samara and Seth from Fms, September 26, 2013

faatima from anaheim, September 10, 2013

the greatest commandment LOVE

ANGELLA from FL, July 21, 2013

I would like to share this video with many of my friends, who are Jewish, Christian, and Muslim! I tried to search it on youtube but I couldn't find it. I will try to email the link of this page to myself and test it....but it would be great if it were available and posted on youtube. It could increase the number of views to the tens or hundreds of thousands...a good idea for your visibility.

Andrew from Fort Lauderdale, March 21, 2013

Beautiful Message. Difference in religion has been the cause of so much violence and wars. It should never be this way. But if you look beyond any differences, you see people with common ideas, personalities, and interests.

Julie from Florida, March 10, 2013

This is something that I would LOVE to see. We all can/should be friends.

Lauren from Baton Rouge, November 26, 2012

How do I share this video on my Facebook? Great message!

Andrea from Seattle, October 3, 2012

Poignant. Especially today.

John Daley from Redondo Beach, Ca, September 14, 2012

We hope this inspires people to have peace with different races, beliefs, and Gods.

Wolfpack from Charlotte, NC, September 13, 2012

Path breaking....great message!

abdoolkayum from mumbai, india, April 26, 2012

A beautiful message, creatively presented.

N. BRITTON from BARBADOS, April 2, 2012

loved this commercial. we need to get away from racism and realize that we have can come together if we let ourselves. Thank you

Louise from az, January 5, 2012

i almost thought there is no one who understands me but watching this commercial makes me dream even higher, i know now there are people like you who know Muslims are people who have hearts. i am sorry about all of the past stigmas against Muslims and I just want hug everyone. i was hopeless and depressed

fatima from usa, January 1, 2012

this is my dream

ibrahim from canada, November 9, 2011

This is one of my favorites...so true that our commonalities are more numerous than our differences. If only we could all look past the differences to see it.

Laura A. from Winston-Salem, NC, September 29, 2011

This is so beautiful, it brings tears to my eyes every time I hear or see it. Pass it on.

skinjan from Barbados, August 21, 2011

who cares what religion you are! It's the same as different races and elasticities of children being friends

Ashley from baraboo,wi, August 11, 2011

This is so beautiful. Wish that everyone can quit acting like fools and accept each others differences. So what if your not the same religion! That's your business!

Rachel from Houston, TX, June 5, 2011

This video is a special one..... it proves that differnt religions can still hold one thing... fun! Just because you are a little bit different doesn't mean everything is!

Annonymous from NO, April 7, 2011

This is a great spot and it shows that we need to look not at what makes us different, but what we have in common. My friends and I are friends because we have things in common. Thank you for showing us to look beyond the surface.

Hal from Kansas, March 15, 2011

I want to show my teacher these videos :) they are so inspiring and I think its how our world should be today.

Ray A. from Miami, Florida, February 18, 2011

Powerful message. Here in the Philippines we have Islamic and Christian people. I pray to the LORD that we have peace in our LAND.

Tyron Sarmineto from Palawan, Philippines , December 2, 2009

Simplistic and powerful, create spot and message.

Bev M. from Canada, December 28, 2008

I saw your ads on Supreme Master Television. The World needs more people like you, reminding people about positive and noble aspects of life - which is the true value of life. Heaven smiles on your endeavor. Love.

Jarwanto, November 20, 2008

I think this one's the best!

Caroline N from Netherlands, October 9, 2008

Before this commercial, I used to think differences keep people apart. Now I realize that's exactly what brings them together. Thanks

BpRt from Lehighton, Pennsylvania USA, February 21, 2008

Wonderful!

Enrico P. from Jakarta, Indonesia, October 31, 2007

That is an amazing commercial. It shows that you don't have to be just like someone to be their friend. Tolerance is good, but acceptance and love are better!

reema from palestine, July 21, 2007

Hi, I live in Mexico where I see your wonderfull PSAs! Can you tell me where the one with the Rabbi, Muslim and Catholic Priest was filmed? It looks like Santa Monica or an LA beach.

spanish-immersion-excursions@hotmail.com from Cuernavaca, Mexico, May 22, 2007

This is such a beautiful and well needed message that deserves to be brought to the door step of every American as we grow more and more culturally diverse.
