Helena Norberg Hodge is the founder and director of the International Society for Ecology and Culture, a non-profit organisation concerned with the protection of both biological and cultural diversity, and education for action. This insightful case study, based on Helena Norberg-Hodge’s book examines how development, with its attendant seductive images of glamour and gadgets promises a life free of hardship but destroys social and ecological bonds. Pollution, resource depletion, urban sprawl, breakdown of family and community, crime and growing economic disparity are not the sole province of the West, Norberg-Hodge traces their appearance in Ladakh to Western notions of progress The film does not suggest that we renounce our wicked Western ways and head for the hills, but that we re-establish our ties to the earth and recognize its natural limitations. In the end, these rules to live by transcend cultural boundaries, and Norberg-Hodge eloquently shows us the way to follow them. For More Information please visit: www.isec.org.uk
