The Film Makers

Idanha Films Mission Statement

Idanha Films, Inc., is a non-profit corporation. Its mission is to produce documentary films and videos which will give voice to those who traditionally have had no audience, including women, children, indigenous populations, and defenders of social justice and of the natural environment. Idanha Films has chosen to work with the visual media of film and video because they provide a powerful means of illuminating an issue, and can accommodate a wide variety of presentational approaches. Idanha Films is particularly committed to using a framework that is grounded in the guiding principles of anthropology and history. These principles underlie the broad context of the story being told, and provide the basis for its contemporary relevance to the viewer.

The directors of Arise felt an urgent obligation to bring this story to the screen. The Mother and daughter team of Lori Joyce and Candice Orlando bring their own individual, personal transformations in regards to caring for the earth to this project. It is with this voice that we conveyed our connection to those who are speaking for us through the power of the visual medium of film.
