Identity
Let us show you the beauty of our languages, the ingenuity of our people passed on for thousands of years through our oral tradition. Our worldview is what defines us as First Peoples. It is shaped by our intimate relationship with the land and with our ancestors, our languages, and our traditional knowledge. To tell you our story, we need to show you the beauty of our languages, the ingenuity of our people and how this was passed on for thousands of years through our oral tradition.

Spirituality
Eleven First Peoples, one circular worldview, connected to all that is alive. Despite attempts by the government and the Church to ban our rituals and ceremonies, our spiritualities live on. The plants and animals that feed us are sacred. For millennia, powerful objects and dances have been used to connect to the Creator, animal spirits, and everything around us.

Rebuilding
First Peoples are tackling universal issues including ecology, discrimination, governance, and food sovereignty. Every decision is taken with a view to its impact on the next seven generations. Before colonization, the 11 First Peoples had their own systems of governance in which women played a central role. Today, for future generations, they are tackling universal issues including ecology, discrimination, governance, and food sovereignty. This fight is critical. Our philosophy is simple: make every political decision with a view to its impact on the next seven generations. This principle guided our ancestors and is why we are still here today to perpetuate it. Now, it will help us confront a global environmental crisis.

Cries from Syria

Cries from Syria

CRIES FROM SYRIA is a searing, comprehensive account of a brutal five-year conflict from the inside out, drawing on hundreds of hours of war footage from Syrian activists and citizen journalists, as well as testimony from child protesters, leaders of the revolution, human rights defenders, ordinary citizens, and high-ranking army generals who defected from the government. Their collective stories are a cry for attention and help from a world that little understands their reality or agrees on what to do about it. A documentary by Evgeny Afineevsky, director of the Oscar-nominated film WINTER ON FIRE, CRIES FROM SYRIA premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.
