This trailer introduces "A Thousand Suns," a film from The Global Oneness Project, set in the Gamo Highlands of the African Rift Valley. The film investigates two critical threats: the erosion of indigenous Gamo spirituality and governance by protestant evangelism, and the introduction of chemical agriculture by the Western aid organization AGRA.
Through these external forces, "A Thousand Suns" highlights the modern world's separation from nature. It contrasts this with the Gamo people's interconnected worldview, presenting it as fundamental for long-term sustainability in the region and beyond.
