English summary

Breaking away from convention, a family went on a five year journey to find a new perspective on life. Their life with tribal communities around the world has led to a thought-provoking cinematic experience of ancient, earthly wisdom. Special guest Diana Quiroz will give a short introduction and after the film a Q&A in English.

During their five year adventure they end up living with different tribal communities on six continents. From the banks of Lake Superior in Michigan to the heart of the Amazon, from the Australian outback to the Kalahari Dessert, from the Andes to the jungles of India, the family gets access to communities where film crews wouldn’t. They meet the most humble but charismatic people one could ever wish to encounter. Most of them live secluded lives in service of their community in which they are referred to as medicine people, shamans, healers or wisdom keepers.

Down to Earth reveals the deep wisdom they find in their conversations with them and its power to transform lives. Having lived in hiding for centuries, the Keepers of the Earth see that now is the time to step forward and share their insights and wisdom with those who are ready to listen.
