A Thousand Suns tells the story of the Gamo Highlands of the African Rift Valley and the unique worldview held by the people of the region. This isolated area has remained remarkably intact both biologically and culturally. It is one of the most densely populated rural regions of Africa yet its people have been farming sustainably for 10,000 years. Shot in Ethiopia, New York and Kenya, the film explores the modern world's untenable sense of separation from and superiority over nature and how the interconnected worldview of the Gamo people is fundamental in achieving long-term sustainability, both in the region and beyond.

  • All I can say is G-d forgive us. I am a Christian and christians like this disgust me. The religious system I was born into has forsaken G-d for money. We see ourselves as separate from the creation of G-d, and have raped this world. G-d forgive us you are in all people. G-d you are in the storm, you are in the animals, you are in these. G-d forgive us. Seeing things like this separate me further from people of this religious system. They are a cursed people upon G-d's Earth.

  • Missionaries or Wonkas?

    We must believe the centuries old Western notion of indigenous people as exotic, simple and miserable, unable to survive without the Western worlds helping hand. Wonka lulls his audience into quietly accepting this familiar and violent idea. In the process, Wonka becomes exalted as a white messiah to be revered and worshiped by the lesser brown people for having led them out of darkness and into enlightenment . This false sense of altruism always accompanies racism.

  • @rallyr0und When you say communism you better remember the concept and meaning comes from a western white worldview and paradigm. Its doesn't come from Africa worldview. Which has been the problem. Western white civilization believes that it has universal truth and the only truth for humanity. As a black man I understand this is a illusion and trick from whites. They've showed with their system imperialism colonialism stealing murdering and etc to achieve their way of live over other people.
