Meaningful Movies Bellevue and The Condor and The Eagle – By Lynn Roesch

On Tuesday, March 23, 2021, the Meaningful Movies Bellevue group teamed up with Mt. Baker Meaningful Movies and Meaningful Movies Port Townsend to present The Condor and The Eagle to an audience of 69 people! A lively discussion followed the screening. Incredibly beautiful scenes and four inspiring Indigenous women taught us about their work to develop the global rise of land and water protectors across the Americas. These four women, from different impacted communities, embark on an extraordinary trans-continental adventure from the Canadian Boreal forests to deep into the heart of the Amazonian jungle to unite the peoples of North and South America and deepen the meaning of climate justice. The Condor and The Eagle documents these leaders as they travel through the jungle on an unexpectedly challenging and liberating journey that forever changes their attachment to the Earth and one another. The Condor and The Eagle was directed by Sophie and Clement Guerra.
