KOGI-INDIANEN KLAGEN UITPUTTING VAN DE AARDE AAN IN een
recente
FILM
Twee afgevaardigden van
de Kogi-gemeenschap, de oorspronkelijke bewoners die leven in de bergen van de
Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in Noord-Colombia kwamen in Europa weer pleiten
voor het behoud en beschermen van onze natuurlijke bronnen, en meer specifiek
de berg waar ze leven en die 'het hart van de wereld' is. Daarover maakten ze de documentaire "From the Heart of the World: The
Elder Brothers Warning". Twintig jaar later is er nog niet veel veranderd en
putten we onze Aarde nog steeds uit.
· ALUNA is made by and with the KOGI, a genuine lost
civilization hidden on an isolated triangular pyramid mountain in the Sierra
Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia, nearly five miles high, on the
Colombian-Caribbean coast. The Kogi say that without thought, nothing could
exist. This is a problem, because we are not just plundering the world, we are
dumbing it down, destroying both the physical structure and the thought
underpinning existence. The Kogi believe that they live in order to care for
the world and keep its natural order functioning, but they recognized some
years ago that this task was being made impossible by our mining and
deforestation. In 1990 they emerged to work with Alan Ereira, making a
90-minute film for BBC1 in which they dramatically warned of our need to change
course. Then they withdrew again…

The first film
had a stunning global impact, and is now probably the most celebrated film ever
made about a tribal people. It was repeated on BBC2 immediately after its first
showing, and then in many other countries – some 30 times in the US last year,
not bad for a 20-year-old documentary!
