The spirit of Kuna Yala

Description

This program is a lively and upbeat portrait of a native people determined to survive the encroachment of the western world. It features the Kuna Indians of Panama's San Blas Islands as they unite to protect their rainforest homeland, Kuna Yala, and the tradition it inspires. Told entirely in the words of the Kunas, the film is a plea to care for the earth from a people who have a deep and intimate relationship with the land.
