A Thousand Suns
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.
There are 4 worlds... Manufactured, natural, and the mix - G-d Given to use for a holy purpose or used for an earthly purpose. Ancient, modern, futuristic, and holy. Over the last 3 thousand years we have tried to hide from the history of the known world. Light bends, the infinite energy source gives us challenges to overcome to receive even greater rewards..put in the work, do the workout, and grow...it's an insult to say we are 'gods' since we are just children of G-d... all we can do is plant seeds and hope the infinite energy source, G-d, grows them to a level of goodness we can appreciate...

Gamo people knows how important it is to show gratitude en respect. Pure feelings dat modern society has suppressed along the way.
Show gratitude to the sky, to the path you walk , to the river you drink water from, to the sun that warm you en your planet up every day.
Gratitude, a puur feeling that can cure the ill and make the poor rich.
Thank you guys for showing this to the world.
I don't understand how the traditional methods of farming address the problems of overpopulation - i.e how do they avoid the Malthusian scenario of more food=more mouths=overtaxing resources=population soar and plummet?
Also, it seems to present a somewhat romanticized version of life in the highlands - it's not like the farmers walk around dancing and singing in their fields all day.
And it's not that all "Abrahamic" religions have one monolithic belief that nature is there for our exploitation.
The film seems to draw pretty shallow distinctions between the good, spiritual, organic indigenous lifestyle and the miserable, disconnected apathic and profit hungry modern lifestyle,
That being said, it is still an interesting film and a good introduction to those unfimiliar with concepts such as sustainable agriculture, biological and cultural diversity, monocropping, the Green Revolution, etc.
I found the video on the indigenous knowldge of Gammo community of Southern Ethiopa towards their environmentIt is truly amazing. It reminded me the need to do similar promotions for other nearby communities as it will enable them to be more conscious about the biodiversity as the need for resource is growing with demand for food and other necessities are ever scalating than before.
this project is indeed wonderful but the change of my country wont come with the money thrown by the imf or whatever as commented but by the coordinated effort of the people of Ethiopia and really speaking billions of dollars are not thrown .
This film contrasts the traditional agriculture methods of the Gamo people with the modern industrialized agricultural methods used in the developed world. The destruction that is caused by modern agriculture is one of the reasons that the film points to a more traditional way as the better way to grow food. The motive for profit in modern agriculture is touched on in the film but what isn't explored is what would be the result if we were to remove profit from our food production.
It isn't technolegy that is causing problems in society. It is that the technolegy we use comes about as a means of making money.
A better way to produce food would be to use the most technologicaly advanced methods and machinery while maintaining the environment.
The film shows people who are having fun while they are tending the fields. I can believe that they do enjoy some of the work but what isn't shown is the back breaking labour that is also apart of farming.
Why would we not want to free ourselves from this kind of labour with technolegy?

it's really a good video and i think every citizen of each country should think over and put their efforts to make the ecosystem more clean and safe.
