Protegiendo las tierras sagradas

"In the Light of reverence"
(USA, 2000, 73 min. Subtitulada)

Christopher McLeod

Documental que refleja la lucha de tres comunidades indígenas norteamericanas (Hopi, Lakota y Wintu) en defensa de sus respectivas tierras sagradas, amenazadas por el turismo, la industria y los parques recreativos. Se confrontan dos formas antagónicas de comprender el universo: para los nativos, la tierra es sagrada y un gran templo espiritual que no debe ser profanado. Para el hombre blanco, mera materia prima con la que enriquecerse económicamente. Este documental introduce un enriquecedor elemento de debate entorno a los espacios naturales protegidos que suele pasarse por alto en la cultura occidental: su valor espiritual.
