From the film's Web site:

In 2004, thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers from all four corners, moved by their concern for our planet, came together at a historic gathering, where they decided to form an alliance: The International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers. This is their story. Four years in-the-making and shot on location in the Amazon rainforest, the mountains of Mexico, North America, and at a private meeting with the Dalai Lama in India, For the Next 7 Generations follows what happens when these wise women unite. Facing a world in crisis, they share with us their visions of healing and a call for change now, before it's too late. This film documents their unparalleled journey and timely perspectives on a timeless wisdom.

This event is a part of Women's History Month, organized and presented by UAA Women's Studies Program, Student Activities, Student Live & Leadership, Residence Life, Diversity Action Council and the UAA Campus Bookstore. Find the full listing of events at the Women's Studies Program Web site.
