I haven’t seen Avatar yet, but I have seen Under Rich Earth, which quite frankly, seems to be the story Avatar is based on… Must see it. An amazing story of Ecuadoran farmers in a valley fighting for their lives, and the life of the valley. So far it has an actual, working, believable, happy ending… Hopefully not for Canadian mining companies though. Evil. Evil.
