Documentary / Movie: Heart of Sky, Heart of Earth -

"It is quite possible our great corporations will succeed in finishing Nature off…and expel the Indigenous from their lands. On the other hand, resistance is growing. Many young Maya say the world will not go under. It will start anew, but we all have to fight for it, here and now. If one is searching for impressive evidence of this tenacious determination, Heart of Sky, Heart of Earth is it."
—DIE ZEIT
