Conversations with the Sacred Mountains
Villagers decide to resist the evangelical Mayor who has banned Andean rituals
The Apus, or sacred mountains are the guardians of the climate and the source of all pure water and thus have the power to protect or devastate communities living on them. This clip was made as part of a campaign to resist evangelical authorities and this video has resulted in local people taking up again traditional practices to nurture Mother Earth.
