Entertainment is the best teacher. And when it comes to Life Lessons, they have to entertain to sustain and motivate the next generation.

Save Our Sentinels is an indigenous musical narrative and a powerful visual commentary on the last sentinels of our natural reserves, the last 36 indigenous tribes standing still, in rare still photographs. Stitched together from thousands of photographs and cinemagraphs of the last indigenous tribes interspersed with the rarest footage of their ancient habitats. The soundtrack is a multilingual musical expression of Indigenous Life Lessons derived from ancient tribal sayings, shaman chants and forgotten folk songs.

The time is now to acknowledge and celebrate indigenous peoples as our new role models; they are the living example of how humans can live in perfect harmony with themselves and the natural world. Planet earth is at risk of losing the cultural identities of many of the world’s most unique indigenous peoples. The world’s elementary natural wisdom is on the brink of being lost. With this knowledge disappearing, a part of the memory of humanity is threatened with extinction. Indigenous peoples are the guardians of ancestral knowledge that draws from the environment the solutions of everyday life. These solutions are priceless. It is a treasure for all those who have to face climate disorders because it helps them cope with the worst of its consequences, such as droughts, floods and hurricanes. Indigenous communities are ready to share their traditional knowledge. They are the the wisdom keepers, the last sentinels.

The musical narrative builds from ancient Life Lessons, Shaman Chants and Folk Songs of the last indigenous people and reveals the life threatening moments of the endangered tribes in their own ancient habitats. The visual expression moves seamlessly from life lessons to life threatening moments revealing that the indigenous people are an endangered tribe in their own ancient habitats. The film celebrates the last few indigenous tribes for standing still in spite of the threat to their cultural identity and their own forest lands.
