Maxima

A beautiful, beautiful and inspiring film, The courage and strength of character that this woman, Maxima, shows, who with her family scratches out a living on their own land, against a multi-national company who doesn't seem to play by the rules and tries to destroy her, is something to behold. It makes one think that many of our perceived problems pale in comparison. Claudia Sparrow did an outstanding job on this documentary. There's some outstanding imagery of this amazing land, great interviews and a jarring reminder of how people used to, and still do, live off the land, juxtaposed to people living in our most modern cities today. This film shines a light on the dignity of the human spirit. Everyone should see this film.
