In a world dominated by film and television, stories that don’t appeal to a large demographic are often overlooked. Vídeo Nas Aldeis is striving to change that. A distribution network that has taught indigenous peoples to create their own video for over 20 years, the VNA helps in broadcasting the voices of these indigenous people to the world. From May 1 to May 4, 2008 the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian has organized a four-day film festival to showcase the VNA’s achievements.
