The Original Way of Living: Nomads Life
Vancity Theatre at the Vancouver International Film Centre
1181 Seymour Street, April 2nd, 2pm (doors open at 1pm)
A benefit for the Institute for Sustainability Education and Action (I-SEA) to develop ‘Wakan Tanka,’ a new film featuring David Suzuki, James Hansen, Robert Bateman, Raffi, Paul Dickenson, Guy Dauncey and more!
......‘NomadsLife’ is a remarkable documentary about four individuals from four different countries who travel from Amsterdam in a 4x4 ex-Dutch4military vehicle to Siberia and Mongolia. They are on an adventure to raise awareness about Nomadic tribes such as the Kazakh Eagle Hunters and the Dukkah, people who haven't strayed too far from their natural roots to understand where true spirit comes from.
The screening of ‘Nomads Life’ is a benefit for the making of 'Wakan Tanka', featuring lifelong activist and television personality David Suzuki; NASA scientist and author (‘Storms of my Grandchildren’) James Hansen; naturalist and painter Robert Bateman; child's entertainer and climate change activist 'Raffi'; climate action speaker and author Guy Dauncey; with messages from First Nation Elders from around the globe.
Wakan Tanka is being made to raise awareness about the relationship people have with their environment with messaging from our eco-hero elders. Salt Spring Island’s I-SEA has teamed up with Substantial Films Ltd. (UK) and A Purpose For Life Foundation to produce this film which in Sioux language means ‘Great Spirit’.
Set against the backdrop of a symbolic fictional journey of a thirteen year old and shot in the style of a music video, artists such as Lamb, Adham Shaikh, Dehli 2 Dublin, Trademark, Nova Nova, Wilderness of Manitoba and more are participating. Amongst scenes of both Earthly decay and beauty, this documentary will celebrate community and illustrate on the ground eco-action by the youth of today.
