Awakenings Cindy Forde and Christine McDougall.mp4

If we want a better, more humane, caring, dignified world for Earth and all her creatures, we need to understand the dynamics of colonisation and power. How did we get here? When we know the weapons of exploitation and colonisation, and how they pervade our language, culture, legal codes and institutions, we can learn to never exploit, extract and colonise again.
