screening at the Spitz gallery featuring a film about biopiracy, "The
Leech and The Earthworm."
collaboration with YEAST FILMS presents the documentary 'THE LEECH
AND THE EARTHWORM'
This film celebrates indigenous world views in the global fight against
Biopiracy - the new colonialism. from the Cook Islands to New Zealand,
from Vanuatu to the Earth Summit in Johannesburg, we have been asking
indigenous people for their views on Western science - its vision of a
genetically engineered future and its deep links with corporate profits,
globalisation and colonisation. Combining passionate critiques of our
potential futures and living alternatives to the globalised monoculture
with music and stunning visuals, this film will take its audiences on a
journey into truths they thought disappeared long ago - inspiring and
educating them to ask serious questions of the collective illusion we
call progress.
