The Kogi - The Elder Brothers' Warning
The Kogi - From the Heart of the World - The Elder Brothers' Warning
53 min 26 sec - Mar 9, 2008
One of the best documentary films of 1992 is a warning by a South American Indian tribe for humanity to give up their self-destructive ways and respect the planet before it is too late.
After four centuries of seclusion, the Kogi agreed to have BBC filmmaker Alan Ereira visit their homeland in the Sierra Nevada mountains of northern Colombia in South America.
"From the Heart of the World: The Elder Brothers' Warning" delivers their prophetic message to the world. This documentary explores the culture and spiritual beliefs of the Kogi tribe -- a pre-Colombian American tribe once believed destroyed.
The Kogi, who call themselves the Elder Brothers of the human race and us the Younger Brothers, are convinced we are destroying the balance of life on earth. Believing that our only hope is to change our ways, the Kogi have set out to teach us what they know of the balance of mankind, nature and the spiritual world.

The Sierra Nevada, meaning "snowy range" in Spanish, is a mountain range in the region of Andalusia in Spain. It contains the highest point of continental Spain, Mulhacén at 3,479 metres (11,414 ft).
Parts of the range have been included in the Sierra Nevada National Park. The range has also been declared a biosphere reserve. The Sierra Nevada Observatory is located on the northern slopes at 2800 m.

Everything we do is an event not only in the physical world but also in the spirit world. We live in a world shaped in spirit.
Every tree, every stone, every river, has a spirit form, invisible to the Younger Brother. This is the world of aluna, the world of thought and spirit.
Aluna embraces intelligence, soul and fertility: it is the stuff of life, the essence of reality.
The material world is underpinned, shaped, given life and generative power in aluna, and the Mama's work is carried out in aluna.-- p. 63
