Coastside Film is showing “In the Light of Reverence” in HMB Friday

The Coastside Film Society is showing In the Light of Reverence this Friday.

Ten years in the making, In the Light of Reverence explores American culture’s relationship to nature in three places considered sacred by native peoples: the Colorado Plateau in the Southwest, Mt. Shasta in California, and Devils Tower in Wyoming.

Rich in minerals and timber and beloved by recreational users, these “holy lands” exert a spiritual gravity which pulls Native Americans into conflicts with mining companies, New Age practitioners, and rock climbers. Ironically, all sides see themselves as besieged. Their battles tell a new story of culture clashes in an ancient landscape.

The film begins at 8pm at Community United Methodist Church Sanctuary, 777 Miramontes (corner of Johnston), Half Moon Bay.
