MOVIES UNDER the STARS

3453_Mayan_Women_in_Red.jpg

HEART OF SKY, HEART OF EARTH

Written and Directed by Frauke Sandig and Eric Black (98 MIN) 

The ancient Maya believed this present world would end and a new cycle arises after 5125 years. How does the story end? Does the water change color? Do the oceans collapse? Does the sky fall as the last tree is cut?

HEART OF SKY, HEART OF EARTH follows six young Maya in Guatemala and Chiapas through their daily and ceremonial lives, revealing their determination to resist the destruction of their culture and environment. As corporations go to the ends of the earth to extract all value, all resources, they put forth a wholly indigenous perspective in their own words, without narration. Each story touches upon a facet of the current global crisis.
