[Gail Koelln]

Gothamites,

 

At 11am tomorrow (January 10) at the Friars Club, Gotham Green will host the
screening of an amazing film by soon-to-be member, Matt Mazer.  Narrated by
Joanne Woodward, the film is called "Keepers of Eden" and it recently won
the "Pierre Salinger Award" at the Avignon-NY Film Festival.  If you’d like
to join us, please RSVP me at gkoelln at gkgrantwriting.com.

 

Here is a description of the film from its web site
(http://homepage.mac.com/historical.media/koe/index.html):

 

KEEPERS OF EDEN®, narrated by Joanne Woodward, chronicles the struggles of
the Huaorani tribe an indigenous people of Ecuador. The tribe lives within
Yasuni National Park, one of the most bio-diverse places on the Earth. The
Huaorani have lived as hunters/gatherers in the Amazon Rainforest for
thousands of years. As oil companies plough deeper into the rainforest, and
the Huaorani’s ancestral lands, a wave of continued destruction threatens to
erase their existence. 

Historical Media® documents the petroleum industries questionable practices
and exposes the results of their contamination. The film traces the
pollution, toxic poisoning and environmental devastation wrought by these
industries. The audience will experience first person accounts of the
illness and infections plaguing these guardians of nature. KEEPERS OF EDEN®
is an exposé which sheds light on the Ecuadorian government’s ongoing
failure to protect its land, its water and its people.

 

Hope to see you there!

Gail
