Colonial Gate 4D Cinema Shows Documentary “The Wisdom to Survive” to Babeque Secondary School Students

The activity took place on Thursday, September 9, and included participation from the students in a discussion forum after the film.

(Santo Domingo, September 9, 2015) The Dominican Republic Environmental Film Festival (DREFF) held a screening of the film “La sabiduría para sobrevivir” at The Colonial Gate 4D Cinema on September 9.

Angela Alston, a DREFF special guest and representative from Mocamedia TV, participated in the activity which was attended by more than 30 students from Babeque Secondary School. For Alston, it was nice to see that young people “can come to their own conclusions on the subject and that some of them are changing their habits to improve the environment.”

Moisés Abreu, a member of the festival staff, said “When a film is well-made and has a plot that connects with people, we automatically do something about what we learned.”

The documentary shows prominent thinkers and activists in the fields of science, economics, and spirituality discussing the way in which we can evolve and take measures against climate change.

Once the film was over, the students participated in a forum, during which they commented on the film and discussed their feedback.

“This film had a big effect on me, as I knew about all of this reality in words, but I have never seen it in an audiovisual format and that makes you do something about it,” stated Yamil Arbaje, a 11th grade student.

Diani Sánchez, a biology teacher, said “The film was impactful. It allows us to see what is happening and sensitizes us to this situation.”
