Sedona International Film Festival – Eating Up Easter Screening

Eating Up Easter Showing on Wednesday, February 26 at 1:00 p.m.

In a cinematic letter to his son, native Rapanui (Easter Island) filmmaker Sergio Mata’u Rapu explores the modern dilemma of their people, descendants of the ancient statue builders, as they face the consequences of their rapidly developing home. “Eating Up Easter” is a powerful story that addresses such topics as plastic pollution, how population and tourism growth is impacting waste management on the island, and the loss of cultural identity at the hands of globalization. By looking at these issues on the micro level of Rapanui, we come away with lessons valid for the entire globe.
