“We had the pleasure of hosting Larry Lansburgh at Westfield for a captivating presentation on the spirit of the Achuar people. His eloquent and well-paced presentation allowed engagement of our minds through information and excerpts from his documentary. Much appreciated was the time devoted to questions. The audience, comprised of community members, faculty, and students, didn’t want to go home.”

Larry Lansburgh’s talk on the “Dream People of the Amazon” provided fascinating inside information about the Achuar people and their successful efforts to keep oil operations out of their territory. Lansburgh connected well with our audience, establishing rapport, fielding a wide range of questions, and staying after the presentation to meet with interested students and faculty. I really enjoyed working with Mr. Lansburgh. In addition to giving an insightful presentation, he provided ample material to help with publicity before the event.

“Larry Lansburgh’s thought provoking presentation on the triumphs of the Achuar people of Ecuador in preserving their land and their culture mesmerized our audience on many different levels. The message of positive alliances, positive attitudes and investing in our young people is important in any culture and a lesson to us all. The ecological message is accentuated by the images of the rainforest.”
