As you may know, Fundacion Pachamama, brought 100 indigenous
people on buses from the jungle and the highlands to a special
showing of the film AVATAR in Spanish in Quito with many press
attending the special showing as well.
For some of the indigenous people, it was the first time they had
ever seen a movie. They wore their feathers and face paint and
donned the 3-D glasses and Bill and Belen and Nati and the Fundacion
Pachamama staff bought them all popcorn and soft drinks and they
entered the magical and mystical world of that extraordinary film
experience about their own struggle with the modern world.
There was a reception afterwards and lots of press.
Below is coverage from public radio, the BBC and another blog
article about AVATAR and Pachamama by Tom Atlee.
Whether you liked the film or not, the indigenous people saw their
own epic struggle powerfully displayed on the screen and it was very
impactful for them. They had truly fascinating comments afterwards.
The movie AVATAR really puts what we are all involved in in an
historic and truly epic perspective and makes it ever clearer how
important it is to Change the Dream.
