Stories, fables, and lore have been passed down for centuries. Some even argue storytelling is inherent to human nature. In this collection of short films, we analyze and learn how words can make a difference.
What happens when a beloved book is turned into a film? Or animating a folk tale? An oral history story? What stays in, what gets left out, or what is entirely new? The treasures in this collection are ready to explore. In one film, Jerome discovers the magic of the words all around him -- words that connect, transform, and empower. Here is a celebration of finding your own words and the impact you can have when you share them with the world. A peacock prince seeks self-knowledge and adventure and the reward is richer than he ever imagined.
Shorts Program Duration: 70 minutes
Themes: Language arts: Based on Books (adaptation); oral history, fairy tale, myth, poetry (rhymed verse); vocabulary; love of reading habits.
Language: This program is presented in English, Persian (Farsi), Kukama-Kukamiria, and French with English subtitles

AND THAT IS HOW THE RIVERS CAME TO BE (Short Film)
Synopsis: A long time ago, before there were rivers in the Amazon rainforest, a Kukama God stood poised in his canoe, holding aloft his bow and arrows. Peruvian artists created more than 2,000 paintings to bring this ancient legend to life. In a world that puts a price tag on nature, this animation takes viewers inside the magic of the Amazon region, reminding us of our sacred connection to water. Narrated in Kukama, an endangered language.
