For the Next 7 Generations

For the Next 7 Generations documents the momentous journey of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers, as they travel around the globe to promote world peace and share their indigenous ways of healing. Originating from all four corners, these 13 wise women elders, shamans and medicine women, first came together in 2004 at a historic gathering in Upstate New York. Motivated by their concern for our planet, they decided to form an alliance: The International Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers. The film begins at their first gathering follows them to the Amazon rainforest, the mountains of Mexico, throughout North America, and to Dharamsala, India, for a private meeting with the Dalai Lama. Facing a world in crisis, the Grandmothers share with us their visions of healing and a call for change now, before it’s too late. Through their teachings, they are lighting a way to a peaceful, sustainable planet. This film documents their unparalleled journey and timely perspectives on a timeless wisdom.

“Director Carole Hart's For the Next 7 Generations is an inspiring and moving work that reveals the importance of indigenous knowledge for our own time. The grandmothers convey their message to the world with great dignity, eloquence, and authority. Hart's film is, in itself, one expression of the prophecy that the Eagle and Condor - north and south, indigenous and modern - will reunite in this great epoch of transformation in which we find ourselves.”
- Daniel Pinchbeck, Author of Breaking Open the Head and 2012: The Return of Quetzcoatl.
