From Soap Operas to Siem Reap

Kaleidoscope Child follows David Ault, a former actor and singer turned spiritual teacher and global humanitarian, as he cultivates schools and communities in Cambodia, India, and Guatemala. A longtime friend and collaborator of the late Louise Hay, David carries forward the essence of her teachings — demonstrating how love in action can transform lives and communities.

Directed by Michael Patrick McKinley, David's personal journey unfolds and then weaves with intimate portraits of the students, teachers, and volunteers into a tapestry of resilience and hope. As David begins the delicate process of succession, the film becomes more than a chronicle of impact — it becomes a love letter to legacy, and an invitation to all who dare to say, “I’m available” on the path of building a better world.
