FOR THE NEXT SEVEN GENERATIONS
http://www.forthenext7generations.com/
This is the story of a historic gathering in 2004, where an alliance was born: the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers. Four years in the making and shot on location in the Amazon rainforest, the mountains of Mexico, North America, and at a private meeting with the Dalai Lama in India, For the Next Seven Generations follows what happens when these wise women unite. Facing a world in crisis, they share with us their visions of healing and a call for change before it’s too late.

MOTHER NATURE’S CHILD
http://www.mothernaturesmovie.com/the-film/
Camilla Rockwell’s film explores nature’s powerful role in children’s health and development through the experience of toddlers, children in middle childhood, and adolescents. The film marks a moment in time when a living generation can still recall childhoods of free play outdoors; this will not be true for most children growing up today. The effects of “nature deficit disorder” are now being noted across the country in epidemics of child obesity, attention disorders, and depression. The film asks the questions: What does it mean to educate the “whole” child? How important is our childhood link to nature? Is experience of the natural outdoors obsolete in kids?
