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.

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.

It's a never ending struggle, isn't it? I was in Altamira in the late 80's filming the first meeting against the dam with the Kayapó Indians. You can see in this gallery some of the Kayapo children's photos I took back then: http://www.childrenoftheamazon.com/photos/children-of-the-amazon/#31 Thanks so much, Genesio!
