Eating Up Easter: Seeking Sustainability In The Remote Pacific - A Global Wake Up Call
Geschreven op 29-3-2022 - Erik van Erne. Geplaatst in Afval
In Eating Up Easter, Native Rapanui (Easter Island) filmmaker Sergio Mata’u Rapu narrates to his son the modern dilemma of their people who risk losing everything to the globalizing effects of tourism.
The film Eating Up Easter follows four islanders, descendants of the ancient Moai statue builders of Easter Island, who are working to tackle the consequences of their rapidly developing home.
Mama Piru leads recycling efforts to reduce trash, Mahani and Enrique use music to reunite their divided community, and Sergio tries to understand the motivations of his father who embraces the advantages of building new businesses.
These stories intertwine to reveal the complexities of development and the contradictions within us all as we are faced with hard choices about our planet’s future.
