    This documentary is excellent! I have been recommending it to everyone I know. I can't express what it did for me personally. As someone who has been involved in the study of indigenous healing for a very long time, it touched me very deeply. I have been growing extraordinarily disillusioned and hopeless lately. I have been pursuing an anthropology degree and have had a profound crisis of faith that anything I am doing is worthwhile in the light of global injustice. What this film did was inspire me. Watching these speakers and hearing their words reminded me of the peace and joy I have felt in my time spent with indigenous people here in the states and in my travels in Mesoamerica and the Amazon. More importantly, it reminded me of what many indigenous people have to teach us- there is so much but the most important thing for me is the ability to remain strong and maintain traditions in the face of relentless oppression and colonization efforts. By seeing the strength of those who stand up to the threat of death and brutality, I felt a sense of shared strength and solidarity. How can I give up when they never have? Please understand I am not trying to cast all indigenous people in the same light or romanticize or simplify them. I am trying to say many have something precious that I feel is the very thing we are missing in places like the USA. I believe the lack of this is what is destroying the world. I believe the struggle of indigenous people for their right to their land, their natural resources, their traditions, and self-determination is truly the struggle of all humans, if we can realize it. If they lose, we all lose, in my opinion. I cant really say what I want to say in words without risking misinterpretation, but hopefully my sentiment will come through. SEE THIS MOVIE! (note: I am currently looking for a long-term volunteer situation to strengthen my understanding of indigenous struggles and social-justice organizing, with the goal of bringing the knowledge of global indigenous struggles back to the USA ... along with the spirit and methods being used by indigenous groups to organize and resist. My hope is I can use any voice or power I have in the USA to contribute. Please message me if you have any leads!)

    I liked this! had some great things in it. This is a story not many people are telling, especially in the US where the drug companies have their largest customer base for psychiatric meds. I have several friends who got schiz. diagnoses in their teens and are now on cocktails of 5+ drugs each. Both suspect the drugs have made them worse. I have another friend who was on psychedelics and got misdiagnosed as psychotic. They stuck him on Haldol, which made him truly psychotic, where he was walking into people's houses and kept getting arrested and got in a lot of trouble. Eventually he found a psychiatrist who believed his story and they took him off the meds. He was fine without the Haldol. I truly think they are chemical lobotomizers. I wonder how many people have had their lives and free wills stolen by getting on these drugs. It's sad that they have turned everything, even disillusionment with the state of our society, into a diagnosis. "We've got a drug for that!" Modern life is becoming like a Philip K. Dick or Kurt Vonnegut novel. I'm glad you had the courage to make this film! Best luck in the future!

    Fun film, I enjoyed it in spite of the things I wasn't crazy about. I'm detail oriented and little things bothered me like the characters' obliviousness to the cold. But I thought of it more as a graphic novel, suspended disbelief and really liked it. I liked the style. Good luck in the future, can't wait to see what you come up with next.
