A film by Ishu Patel
This animated tale from Academy- Award nominated filmmaker,
Ishu Patel, tells of a mythical universe threatened by two
unthinking and uncaring visitors. Offered a wellspring of
wishes from a cosmic "genie," the visitors need only follow
one
rule: take only what you need and give something back in
return. Greed overcomes the visitors and they are banished
from this place of endless bounty. A cautionary statement for
us all, this film will be appreciated by "new-agers,"
environmentalists, and everyone concerned with the fate of
the Earth.
