A Different Life is a poetry of music, visuals, and story by Gyan Shahaf Peled. A fresh perspective on life, and how we can choose to live.

A Different Life is an independent creative documentary for cinema, shot in Costa Rica and post-produced in Switzerland, Denmark, Israel, and Poland. The director is from Israel and the producer is Swiss-Australian. It is a truly international production that should find resonance across cultural divides. The film addresses the existential discomfort felt in modern society due to the overdose of information, technology, commercialization, and materialism. The purpose of the film is not to show or dictate how to live, but to examine and reveal the possibility of a change.

A Different Life is a journey into a different reality, a different way of living, when it’s actually a mirror reflection on our life.
