We are happy to be hosting a screening and discussion of this documentary. This film includes Metta Earth as one of the 5 New Stories for the Great Transition. We are delighted to welcome the Executive Producer of the film, Chris Wood of BALE (Building a Local Economy), who will be focalizing the discussion after the film.
"When today's stories of crushing greed and endless growth
have come to an end, what, then, will be the new stories?"
"Dancing With the Cannibal Giant: New Stories for the Great Transition is a documentary film portraying five remarkable stories of people and places transforming the world. Narrated by Penobscot elder, Sherri Mitchell (Weh'na Ha'mu Kwasset), we are introduced to the Penobscot mythology of the cannibal giant: a creature awakened by the destruction of mother earth. The film is told through the lens of this powerful prophecy: only if people can awaken to their own destruction, and the need for change, will the cannibal giant be put back to sleep."
"The way that we are living in the world right now is disconnected from the source of our survival ... This is not the time to wallow in despair and fear, this is not the time to waste our energies pointing fingers and casting blame. This is a time for us to organize, it's a time for us to galvanize our efforts, and to unify in ways that we never have before, to protect what is sacred and precious to us."
- Sherri Mitchell
