David Kossoff, a highly acclaimed and respected British actor, entered this world on November 24, 1919, and unfortunately, his mortal coil was shed on March 23, 2005. The trajectory of his life underwent a significant and profound shift following the heartbreaking and inexplicable loss of his remarkable son, Paul, a gifted rock musician, whose untimely passing left an indelible mark on Kossoff's existence. This traumatic event served as a catalyst, igniting a newfound fervor within Kossoff to dedicate his life to a tireless crusade against the scourge of drug abuse.
Notably, Kossoff's dedication to the anti-drug crusade was accompanied by his involvement in a significant cultural phenomenon of the early 1970s - the Nationwide Festival of Light, a groundbreaking event that took place in 1971. This notable gathering, which aimed to address the pervasive issues of the time, sought to raise awareness about the commercialization of sex and violence, and to promote a return to traditional values by advocating for the teaching of Christianity as a means of restoring moral stability in Britain.
