BEYOND GREEN: SXABUE'S UMBILICAL CORD

An inspiring student made documentary that shows how Edifredo has led his community away from growing coca for export and money to cultivating diverse crops to feed his community. Well produced, thoughtful.

In the tradition of Columbia's Nasa indigenous people, Edilfredo's mother buried his umbilical cord to honor his first tie to Mother Earth. The changes of community violence and alcoholism have cut this bond. Edilfredo, now 17, has rediscovered his connection with the Earth and is working with the Indigenous Guard to cultivate diverse crops that nourish the human body, the indigenous spirit and the natural environment.
