I watched it with great sadness and a sense of familiarity, having spent so many hours in the darkroom with your children in making the Cibachrome prints for you. It was a real privilege to be involved in helping this important project come to fruition and I would like to continue to help the world know more about the plight of the people of the Amazon. We are all children on a precarious path on the planet and your poignant work may be instrumental in awakening the world to the urgent need to reverse the ruthless, short sighted, exploitation of Indigenous populations for our own greed and addictions. It all begins with overcoming ignorance and indifference. Please keep up your good work and perhaps we can present the exhibition we discused years ago to help spread this important message. Sincerely, Mark Chamberlain BC Space Gallery Dear Denise,

Congratulations on completing your excellent documentary on the Children of the Amazon. I watched it with great sadness and a sense of familiarity, having spent so many hours in the darkroom with your children in making the Cibachrome prints for you.

It was a real privilege to be involved in helping this important project come to fruition and I would like to continue to help the world know more about the plight of the people of the Amazon.

We are all children on a precarious path on the planet and your poignant work may be instrumental in awakening the world to the urgent need to reverse the ruthless, short sighted, exploitation of Indigenous populations for our own greed and addictions.

It all begins with overcoming ignorance and indifference. Please keep up your good work and perhaps we can present the exhibition we discused years ago to help spread this important message.

Sincerely,

It is a brilliant documentary... I learned so many things that I did not know about the Amazon and its people. Chico Mendes was an amazing hero and truly inspiring. I will recommend more people see this movie at my university as it is important for this story to reach far and wide... I feel everyone needs to do their part to help save the Amazon rain forest. Please don't let this drop... ---------------- Acabei de assistir Children of the Amazon na PBS. Que documentário brilhante... Aprendi tantas coisas que não sabia sobre a Amazônia e a sua população. Chico Mendes foi um herói incrível, verdadeiramente inspirador. Vou recomendar este filme para muitas pessoas na minha universidade pois é importante que esta história seja difundida... Acho que todos deveriam fazer sua parte para ajudar a salvar a floresta amazônica. Por favor não deixem este trabalho parar... I just watched Children of the Amazon on public television.

I fell in love with this project since the first time I visited the website. I read about Chico Mendes before and how much he fought for the forest. I wanna say thank you to Denise for sharing this wonderful material, I look foward to know more about it. This is such an incredible and project, amazing movie.
