Damn the Dam! from Ya'axché Conservation Trust on Vimeo.
Check out these Punta Gorda High School students who wanted to use the power of music and dance to represent the opposition of both themselves and their communities to unsustainable hydroelectric development. This whole movie is shot on the very same river that the proposed dam was to be built upon. These young Belizeans are showing just how much the river means to the people of Toledo district and how they want to see it remain just the way it is.
Thanks to Ajax films for making this movie and to the talented TCC students who worked so hard to make it happen!
