Fantastic Trailer for Native American Animated Film FOUR SOULS OF COYOTE

I have a fantastic trailer here for you to watch for an upcoming Native American animated film titled Four Souls of Coyoteand it looks like a beautifully made film.

The film’s description reads: “We are slowly destroying the Earth because we humans think we are special. Native people have always known that we are just a small part of creation.”

The story is about “our shared responsibility for each other and the Earth.” Set in present day, Native American protesters confront the crew of a proposed oil pipeline, located just down the hill from their ancestral land.

“Grandfather evokes the ancient tale of the Creation myth, reminding us all that the challenges facing humanity are universal and that we must find our place in the great circle of creatures.”

The film was directed by Aron Gauderwho said: “This film pays tribute to the wisdom of a humiliated and destroyed nation. Four Souls of Coyote It is an alternative and more modest creation myth, in which the human being is neither the supreme creature of nature nor the king of the world, but only one among all creatures.

“Remarkably, these archaic myths depict the interrelationships of the world very similarly to modern scientific achievements. The former represent the only alternative to a capitalist society… ‘As long as the grass grows,’ the Native Americans once said, and they meant eternity.

“They didn’t know that it could be in danger in the future. The Earth has tolerated everything so far, but its strength is rapidly diminishing. We can only save it together.”

The movie stars Cardinal Lorne, Danny Kramer, John Eric Bentley, Bennett Key, Priscilla LandhamAND Stephanie Novak.

I like the animation style and the film seems to have a great energy, thanks to the images shown in the trailer.

Four Souls of Coyote will be released in select theaters on August 2, 2024.
