Paralelo 10 - Trailer Oficial

From www.youtube.com - May 19, 2012 9:16 AM
Paralelo 10 é um documentário que retrata um trabalho pioneiro e arriscado realizado em uma pequena base Xinane, da FUNAI, próximo ao Paralelo 10º Sul, oeste do Acre, na fronteira com o Peru. Em instalações simples, no meio da selva, o sertanista José Carlos Meirelles leva adiante a difícil missão de proteger os índios isolados da região, contando com o auxílio do antropólogo Terri Aquino. Com poucos recursos, os especialistas desempenham incansavelmente suas tarefas. Além de realizarem uma negociação permanente com as populações ribeirinhas da área, eles também lidam com o enfrentamento com traficantes e posseiros que tentam invadi-la.

Indians ‘cry with happiness’ at Brazilian Court ruling

Indians ‘cry with happiness’ at Brazilian Court ruling | Ayahuasca News | Scoop.it
From www.survivalinternational.org - May 14, 2012 1:00 PM
The Pataxó Hã-Hã-Hãe Indians of Brazil are celebrating a Court decision to allow them to live undisturbed on their land.

 

The Pataxó, of Bahia state, have been subjected to violent conflict for decades as ranchers have been occupying their indigenous territory.

 

They have been pushing to be able to live undisturbed on their ancestral land, a right guaranteed to them by Brazil’s constitution and by international law.

 

After a long judicial battle, Brazil’s Supreme Court ruled this month that the ranchers must leave the area.

 

The Pataxó sang and danced at a ceremony to welcome the decision. One Indian said, ‘Today our damaged heart is crying with happiness’.

State Deputy Padre Ton emphasized that this land is for the Indians, ‘chased away and evicted by the violence they suffered’.

 

The Brazilian authorities are now responsible for resettling the ranchers.

Shugendô Now - PREVIEW

From www.youtube.com - May 5, 2012 11:10 AM

This feature documentary is an experiential journey into the mystical practices of Japanese mountain asceticism. In Shugendô (The Way of Acquiring Power), practitioners perform ritual actions from shamanism, "Shintô," Daoism, and Tantric Buddhism. They seek experiential truth of the teachings during arduous climbs in sacred mountains. Through the peace and beauty of the natural world, practitioners purify the six roots of perception, revitalize their energy and reconnect with their truest nature — all while grasping the fundamental interconnectedness with nature and all sentient beings.
