Common Ground: Guatemala

My name is Michael Lee Peterson and I'm a filmmaker from the United States. Join me as I ship out on the first adventure to many in a new television pilot called 'Common Ground'. The series follows me as I sail south of our borders on the sailing vessel the "Lorena" with the ship's captain Jim Gregory, his wife and ship doc Lois, and his friend and stalwartly first mate Rogelio on a journey to put a face and a heart on the rest of the World. The Human Race shares a common ancestry, and though our culture's clash and our perspectives on the world differ most of the time, we must share some Common Ground. That's what we're out to find.
     This blog is an attempt to collect my thoughts, gain insights and share new perspectives as I broaden my horizons with this wonderful band of people. Our first stop is Guatemala. Coincidently, it also happens to be Rogelio's home. Rogelio is an amazing young Guatemalan man with a unique story. In our first episode, we're looking to tell it. Join us on this wonderful adventure, and spread the word!
