Backpack and “Forest Weeps”

03.Watching Weeps

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, 9 December 2015 — Participants in my Backpack Video Journalism Workshop in Managua watch my most recent film, “When the Forest Weeps.” The film examines how Ecuador’s Kichwa Indians struggle as their deep spiritual relationship with the Amazonian rain forest diminishes in a clash with the forces of so-called modernity.

The film resonated with a number of these students, as some are dedicated to covering social issues that affect the most vulnerable of their population. You can watch the film if you click HERE.

“Forest Weeps” to Ghana Event

05.Forest Weeps

ACCRA, Ghana, 25 November 2015 — On this, the third day of our five-day Backpack Video Journalism Workshop, I shared my latest video report from the Ecuadorian Amazon. “When the Forest Weeps” examines how Ecuador’s Kichwa Indians struggle as their deep spiritual relationship with the Amazonian rain forest diminishes in a clash with the forces of so-called modernity. It is a story not unlike the clash between the traditional way of life in many areas of Africa and the forces of so-called modernity impacting lives across the continent.
