View Article  Film: Mayan Territory

Just had this email through from Victoria Tai about her great film documenting work going on in Guatemala and around to employ technology in ingenius ways:

This is the moment I've been anticipating for a long, long time...because for three years I've shared my faraway journeys in writing/photographs--from Africa, Asia, and Latin America---but now I can really invite you into the heart of the experience.

My first documentary filmed in Central America explores the innovative technologies, peasant livelihoods and personal stories we've encountered. So, as I now send this off to North American television stations, and prepare for my first trip to Bolivia and Peru, I am proud to show you {Develop}'s first 25-minute film " Mayan Territory" which is available online at http://develop.blip.tv  but f or the best viewing results, download the file onto your desktop. 

We've tried with so many platforms and with different sizes to best share it with everyone, so I hope it works!
