Eternal Song Echoes of Resilience Across Indigenous Worlds - Maurizio Benazzo & Zaya Ralitza Benazzo

Co-presented with SAND (Science and Non-Duality) and Bolinas Film Festival

For tens of thousands of years, indigenous peoples were in deep kinship with the natural world while stewarding ancestral land and wisdom. Through the narratives of colonialism, capitalism, and individualism, our “modern” Western mindset has cast a collective fog of amnesia, and lead us into believing that we are separate from the Earth, each other, and the ancestral realm. Eternal Song is the first in a series of award-winning films that explore the devastating impact of colonization on indigenous people and lands, and cultures--and how our collective future depends on remembering the eternal song of existence which calls us back to our original sense of belonging.
