21 minutes/Grades 7-Adult
Produced by Christopher McLeod
This moving film is the latest work by Christopher McLeod, one
of America's foremost environmental filmmakers
(DOWNWIND/DOWNSTREAM; THE FOUR CORNERS).
This time he looks at our spiritual connection to the land and
to nature. Through interviews with a Southern Ute elder in
Colorado, native Hawaiians protesting geothermal energy
development in the rainforest home of the goddess Pele, and Dave
Foreman, co-founder of Earth First!, the film explores why certain
places are held to be sacred and how wilderness can nourish the
soul. In particular, Dave Foreman's lucid explanation of how
wilderness can reconnect us to our place in the larger scheme of
things is a gem.
Each one of us has a special place that holds deep significance
for us. This is a film that builds on that experience. It will
make you think and feel, and is guaranteed to generate discussion
wherever it is shown.
