Description

This stunning and poetic documentary examines pre-Christian goddess-worshipping religions. Incorporating the work of archaeologist Marija Gombutas, art historian Merlin Stone, and scholars Jean Bolen, Charlene Spretnak and Starhawk - who link the loss of goddess-centered societies with today's environmental crisis- Goddess Remembered offers insights into these ancient cultures and explores the contemporary women's spirituality movement inspired by them. Traveling from the caves of paleolithic France to the temples and palaces of Malta and Crete, Goddess Remembered discovers carvings, drawings, and architectural details, providing evidence that there was once a cooperative society based on respect for the earth and for all life -- a society that lived for thousands of years in almost complete freedom from war or territorial conflicts as we know them today. This thought-provoking film is a tribute to the goddess-worshipping peoples and their almost-forgotten values.
