Event
Sun Afternoon Auditorium Session: 10th Annual Hazel Wolf Environmental Film Festival
FILM: Woven Ways (50 min)
SPEAKER: Woven Ways filmmaker, Linda Krapf and Representative from Spokane Indian Reservation, Deb Abrahamson
Woven Ways (49 min, USA)
Shares the stories of the Navajo people, the land, and livestock that sustain their culture and economy and the environmental issues that threaten their health and well-being. Our nations thirst for energy is creating deadly consequences for the Navajo. Much of the uranium for nuclear power plants and valuable deposits of coal, oil and gas lay beneath the reservation. Told in their own words with no narration, Woven Ways is a lyrical testimony to Navajo beauty and hope in the face of grave environmental injustice. Shot amid dramatic desert landscapes, the film chronicles each family's steady resolve to hold on to what is sacred--the land, air and water; not for themselves, but for generations that will come. (Linda Helm Krapf, 2007)
