Fire and Ice

Standing on Sacred Ground – Season 1

In Ethiopia's Gamo Highlands, the benefits of traditional stewardship are confirmed even as elders witness the decline of spiritual practices that have long protected their natural surroundings and religious tensions erupt into a riot. In the Peruvian Andes, the Q'ero are driven from their ritual site by intolerant Catholics as Q'eros potato farmers face a more ominous foe: climate change.
