    logo_inspirationofsedonaSedona AZ (May 17, 2016) – The Inspiration of Sedona is proud to present the Northern Arizona, encore premiere finale of Standing on Sacred Ground, Part IV: Islands of Sanctuary. Each Part of this award-winning, four-part documentary series is an independent film, so it is not necessary to have seen prior Parts. See trailer: http://standingonsacredground.org/film-series/islands-sanctuary.

    This final Part IV will be shown on Thursday, May 26th, at 6:30 pm, at the Church of the Red Rocks, followed by a Q&A with Dorothy Firecloud, J.D. (Sicangu Lakota), Superintendent of Montezuma Castle, and Tuzigoot, National Monuments, and Montezuma Well, who is deeply involved with sacred land struggles.

    20160517_pashThe Producer and Director, Toby McLeod, circled the globe for five years filming the Standing on Sacred Ground series. McLeod founded the Sacred Land Film Project, (www.sacredland.org), in 1984, to make high-impact documentary films relevant to indigenous communities and modern audiences. He has produced many award-winning documentary films. His first film was The Cracking of Glen Canyon Damn—with Edward Abbey and Earth First.

    This event series is back by popular demand after it initially premiered at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre as part of two weeks of local Climate Care Awareness events, (climatecareawareness.org), in conjunction with the global actions surrounding the December UN Conference on Climate Change in Paris.

    Indigenous communities around the world and in the U.S. resist threats to their sacred places—the original protected lands—in a growing movement to defend human rights and restore the environment. In this four-part documentary series, native people share ecological wisdom and spiritual reverence while battling a utilitarian view of land in the form of government megaprojects, consumer culture, and resource extraction as well as competing religions and climate change.

    Narrated by Graham Greene, with the voices of Tantoo Cardinal and Q’orianka Kilcher, the series exposes threats to native peoples’ health, livelihood, and cultural survival in eight communities around the world. Rare verité scenes of tribal life allow indigenous people to tell their own stories—and confront us with the ethical consequences of our culture of consumption.

    In Part IV: Islands of Sanctuary, native Hawaiians and Aboriginal Australians resist threats to their sacred places in a growing international movement to defend human rights and protect the environment. In Australia’s Northern Territory, Aboriginal clans maintain Indigenous Protected Areas and resist the destructive effects of a mining boom. In Hawaii, indigenous ecological and spiritual practices are used to restore the sacred island of Kaho`olawe after 50 years of military use as a bombing range.

    The Inspiration of Sedona meets on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month. It is an open meeting group, that strives to work together collectively for the betterment of ourselves, our communities, and the world. Its current format involves showing inspiring and personally empowering documentaries about the social and environmental issues we’re collectively facing, followed by interactive discussion.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
