This film was shown with great success during San Diego Climate Week because it so graphically illustrates the modern-day challenges facing the small country of Belize. The people of Belize have lived in harmony with their delicate ecosystem for centuries but now face modern-day pressures challenging that pastoral lifestyle: climate change, exploiting cruise ships, oil exploration. Can a grassroots team of passionate and dedicated women scientists, artists, and engineers stave off the moneyed interests pressuring them to yield to the temptation to sell out for easy material riches?
Through brilliant and stunning cinematography, filmmaker Eladio Arvelo addresses not only this question, but also illustrates how local culture, appreciation and respect for Nature, and above all, community resilience, can prevail. The film is an inspiration for anyone concerned about preserving the environment through active civic engagement
