A Convenient Truth
"There is nothing so powerful as truth." - Daniel Webster
I must first address that this interview sequence with Sequoyah Trueblood was recorded in the fall of 2005. Way before the release of Al Gore's "Incovienent Truth". What your about to hear and see is not being produced to harm or tarnish Al Gore nor Molly Olson's image. Its only provided as cultural commentary on what we all could take a look at. Our mistakes, failures and the missed opporunties. We take a look back to the years of 1993-1994 with insight by Sequoyah Trueblood and his visit along with other messengers of the North American Indigenous world. It also points to the seriousness of our situation of which Al Gore is commended on his being an outspoken messenger of our future. Mr. Thomas Berry 91 who by all accounts would be considered the Grandfather of the Eco-Sphere and a great messenger of our future, is included in this doc-short. He is referenced as "Sir Father Thomas Berry". I as a filmmaker took this only liberty to give the title "SIR" to this amazing human being. He is not a knighted individual, but in my book he is more than a Knight he is a Noble. Its unfortunate that his work is not made as popular as such films as an Incovient Truth. My hopes are that you will do your homework on finding our more about Thomas Berry and his great contribution to nature and humanity.
This same day the filmmaker was interviewing Mr. Thomas Berry, in the early summer of 2006, Al Gore appeared that night on Larry Kings CNN. As I sat in the hotel room in North Carolina, I could not help but video document this historic message being delivered by Al Gore. It is provided as an example of our own illusions and deceptions we all have faced as leaders of our own self.
We are facing something much bigger than Global Warming, the indigenous peoples have talked about this day for many thousands of years. While we might take the time to bask in the limelight of our own ego, we are faced with very serious and dire circumstances should we not heed the call of not only Al Gore, Thomas Berry and many others, but the call of all Indigenous peoples all over the world. We must search for an even bigger vision than just Global Warming. Let use not fool ourselves, we are faced with many levels of catastrophic possibilities. We must listen to them and we must use there wisdom now more than ever.
I must put great emphasis on the background sound of what seems to sound like Jets flying overhead and to have those who have the eyes to see and the ears to hear to look at what the Thunder Beings mean to the Native American Peoples. I state with all honesty that these jet type sounds are not overlaid over the video but are in fact recorded live on tape.
"Native American tradition honors the existence of Thunder Beings. These Thunder Beings are understood by Native Americans to be messengers from the powers on high, the Star People (extraterrestrial visitors). The Thunder Beings are a force for both dissolution and re-creation. In the Plains Indian tradition, a person who has a visit by a Thunder Being, in person, in vision or in dream, becomes a heyoka, a "contrary". [4] This heyoka then customarily soon starts behaving in a way opposite to the conventions of the dominant culture. The heyoka does so, precisely in order to wake up society to see that there are other and fresher ways of doing things. Thus, the heyokais the human counterpart of the Thunder Beings, who repeatedly dissolve the existing order and fashion a new arrangement from the pieces"

Taking A Stand: Video Blogging for the 21st Century WWW.BraveNewEarth.com
With camera on my back and four years invested, I have traveled to devastated New Orleans, remote villages of Columbia, traversed India from the Himalayas, South to Auroville and back to the U.S all with one purpose: meet with and document many of today's devoted Earth Stewards, known, unknown and those likely never-to-be-known. As far back as I can remember I've been keenly interested in native peoples and their prophesies, each foretelling of cataclysmic earth changes should humans ignore their duty to steward the earth, and the price to be paid should we continue to defer these responsibilities to future generations. Kogi, Hopi, Lakota, and modern-day prophets as diverse as Edgar Cayce and Dr. John Todd, have all inspired me with their uniquely different, but unified voices. Backpack Broadcasting is the medium, video the pallet with which to paint and the Internet the canvas. With YouTubes' enormous popularity, I believe there is an audience eager to see and be inspired by such diverse voices each echoing sustainable solutions, and the dire need for a personal revolution and cultivate our regard for nature. WWW.BraveNewEarth.com is the germinating seed of my contribution to the groundswell of a global collective that is doing its brave part.

Godrey Reggio directed, cinematographer and editor was Ron Fricke, Philip Glass did the soundtrack and that's King Missile at the end of this fallaciously claiming eponominity as same. This is the last third of one of three (1:3) film studies of human experience that are worth watching in entirety. Text at close explains the title of this 1982 masterpiece.
Koyaanisqatsi
ko-yan-nis-qatsi (from the Hopi language) n. 1. crazy life. 2. life in turmoil. 3. life out of balance. 4. life disintegrating. 5. in a state of life that calls for another way of living.
Translation of the Hopi Prophecies Sung in the film
"If we dig precious things from the land, we will invite disaster."
"Near the Day of Purification, there will be cobwebs spun back and forth in the sky."
"A container of ashes might one day be thrown from the sky which could burn the land and boil the oceans."

http://www.ted.com With 3.8 billion years of research and development on its side, nature has already solved problems that human designers and engineers still struggle with. In this inspiring talk, Janine Benyus provides fascinating examples of biomimicry -- the way humans mimic nature in the products we build and the systems we implement. And because the champion adapters in the natural world are, by definition, those that can survive without destroying the environment that sustains them, biomimicry can contribute to the long-term health of our planet.

This clip is an extract of a DVD about strawbale building, called "Houses of straw".
Strawbales are a new, interesting building material: it is a sustainable, ocologically sound resource, available in abundance. Strawbale walls achieve highest insulation values and offer a healthy, beautiful living environment.
This film is a trailer for a DVD called "Houses of straw", shot in Germany (to be found at www.ecofilm.de). It shows the recent developments, many examples show the different possibilities of building with straw. In interviews with owner-builders, architects and experts we hear a lot of importants aspects. And: an exciting fire test shows: strawbale walls don´t burn!
