- DirectorEric BlackFrauke SandigStarsJosefa 'Chepita' Hernández PérezFloridalma Pérez GonzalezCarlos Chan ChanukHeart of Sky, Heart of Earth Clouds pass before the sun and away again while a gentle voice speaking in the splendid tones of the Mayan language explains how the Earth came to be. There were no humans or animals; there was only sky... This poetic atmosphere sets the tone for a weighty story demonstrating how globalization is wiping out this benign approach to life in a narrow-minded, crude, and criminal way. According to the ancient Maya, this great cycle of their calendar will end in 2012. But for the source of our demise, there is no need to look to the esoteric. The remote homelands of some nine million present day Maya in Chiapas and Guatemala present a perfect microcosm for witnessing how greed is already ravaging the Earth and indigenous cultures. With sublime imagery, six young Maya present their daily and ceremonial life, revealing their determination to resist the destruction of their environment, their rainforests and their native corn. One salient example is the huge open pit in Guatemala, where the largest gold mine in Central America has recently been dug. The earth has been stripped and laid bare for the grabbing hands of a Canadian Multinational. The Maya suspect the red lumps on their children's skin are caused by cyanide from the mine. They are now in such dire straits that, while some keep silent out of fear for their lives, others are mobilizing. Their cosmovision, in which all life is sacred and interconnected, presents a deeply compelling alternative to the prevailing worldview.
