Film Screening: También la Lluvia (Even the Rain)

 

Questions to THINK about...

1. What ideology did European explorers bring with them to the New World? What did they want? What did they believe/value/care about?

2. How did it differ from the ideology of the indigenous peoples that inhabited the lands? (What do we know about this? How do some indigenous belief systems differ from "Western" ones?)

3. Why were these ideologies in conflict?

4. Do we see these ideological conflicts manifest in modern times? Can you think of examples?
