A 63-minute poem in pictures. Enough to tell the audience about the wounded beauty of the Amazon and its indomitable spirit. The documentary “Anamei: the guardians of the forest”, the latest effort by director Alessandro Galassi, will be screened for the national premiere on 27 September at the San Fedele Cultural Center in Milan, at 6 pm, before starting a journey between the old and new continent through documentary reviews dedicated to the story of the contemporary.
The event, sponsored by the association Laudato si’, will make it possible to make contact with the resistance of the indigenous Peruvian Harakbut of Madre de Dios, put in relation with the prophecy of the integral ecology of Pope Francis. The initiative is included in the official calendar of All4Climate-Italy 2021, an initiative of the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Climate Change Communication Program Connect4Climate of the World Bank, in view of the 26th Conference of the Parties (COP26) of the UN Convention on Climate Change to be held in Glasgow in November 2021: a summit in which world leaders will be called to give political concreteness to the red code on climate change launched just a month ago by scientists from the International Panel on Climate Change. Because it is still not too late to change course. In the obstinacy with which the natives heal the wounds of the Amazon, scarred by clandestine gold mines, the key to a possible recovery is hidden.
For the forest and its peoples as well as for the planet and humanity as a whole. Everything is connected.
