Guardians of the Selva Maya from Rana Lee Araneta on Vimeo. Jury's Award (Festival Award) “Guardians of the Selva Maya” trailer (USA, 2007 director Rana Lee Araneta) Jury Statement: The film portrayed the genuine sense of a community united to strengthen the fabric of their existence, and depicted children as an integral part of long-term sustainability planning. We all believed that the film's central message – in order to change the world we need to change how we think – as depicted through the eyes of children was both heart-warming and extremely well crafted. When one of the children states 'I planted this tree with affection' you could almost feel a seismic shift in the cultural inertia. (For more information on the project, go to www.rainforest2reef.org)
