'Listen to your heart': Indigenous elders channel tough love in Earth Day film

‘Mother Earth is crying for her human children’: Indigenous elders from around the world come together in the documentary 'Wisdom Weavers of the World' to deliver some tough love for EarthDay

Produced by Academy and Emmy award-winner Jeffrey D. Brown, Wisdom Weavers of the World was shot in Hawaii where Ilarion “Kuuyux” Merculieff, an Alaskan Unangan leader, gathered a dozen other elders to hold councils and ceremonies in November 2017.

The four-day gathering of elders concluded that such problems will only be solved through a fundamental shift in human consciousness, rather than a constant striving after purely political or technological fixes.
