My name is Dr. Vandana Shiva, I started out as a physicist did a PhD on hidden
variables and non-locality in quantum theory but for the last five decades I have been
working on ecological issues both through research and activism. I think the next step
for a regenerative future has to be to undo the illusion and blindness that made us think
that the Earth is just dead matter, raw material to be exploited. Regeneration means something has generative power. The Earth is a creative being, a sel
f-organized being, she's Gaia and
we have to work in co-creation with the Earth, her different organisms, realize that we are not
their masters, their owners, but we are members of one Earth family, related to each other through
the most fundamental relationships of life, of food, of water, of breath, of consciousness, of
compassion. I support any initiative that tries to make a difference and brings positive stories of
what people are really doing in their lives rather than a handful of ri
ch billionaires and their
stories which we are bombarded with every day. The potential for the film is allowing
people in remote areas to connect to each other and realize that things are
happening, change is happening and we don't have to slip into hopelessness and fear.
The potential for life is sprouting everywhere.
