In making the documentary For the Next 7 Generations…

we collected over 600 hours of footage. There is so much more we wish we could’ve included in this film, and several topics that could have been expanded, but we were limited to the length of a feature film. So we decided to dedicate a section of our website to having a closer look at some of the issues that were brought up in the film. We wanted to create a space where we could engage with our audience, where you could ask questions, share stories, and through your comments, connect with other people who are interested in this subject matter. We will be using short excerpts from interviews with the Grandmothers to moderate some of these discussions. So please join us! Start talking! Subscribe to our mailing list so that you can be notified when a new discussion has been posted. We hope this page will provide some answers, strengthen community, and inspire people to continue searching, learning, and delving deeper into this mysterious and beautiful web of life.
