The movie focuses on an ancient tribe in Columbia, the Kogi, who have great concern for the health of the earth. They want to give the rest of humanity a message regarding the need to change our relationship to the earth and how we must take care of this planet. This is the second time that the Kogi have allowed their secluded culture to be filmed; the first was in 1992. They had a warning message then and have an urgent message NOW. While that is the background of the film, it is beautifully filmed and the Kogi people are wise and caring and, although illiterate, have come to their awareness of the plight of the planet by watching how natural systems are changed by ‘progress’. The task of laying the sacred “gold thread” over a large section of land is especially beautiful and demonstrates their understanding and commitment to bringing their message to the industrialized world.
