Synopsis of the film “KOGIS, Together to Heal the Earth”

This documentary recounts the cross-cultural dialogue initiative led by Tchendukua in France in September and October 2023. The aim, in a fragmented world, is to reconcile ancestral knowledge with modern science, analytical approaches with sensitive perceptions of the land. Scientists and Kogi representatives came together and exchanged perspectives along the Rhône, at sites of high natural value. For the Kogi, the land functions in the same way as the human body. It is no longer a mere object, a vehicle for development, but appears as a subject with which we must rediscover the paths to peace… Forests, rivers, lakes and glaciers are the fragile organs of an immense living body: the Earth. In an era of profound imbalances, this documentary questions our ability to incorporate indigenous perspectives to reinvent our connection with nature. Driven by a universal message of hope, it calls for the preservation of the Earth’s balance by blending modernity with tradition.
