The main speaker is a Maori from New Zealand and they will talk about the earthquake in Christchurch and how it affected some people groups. Please have a look at the poster below and attend if you are interested.

Video – The Jungle Book / Sarabande (The Piano Guys)

Video — Scene from The Mission (Gabriel's Oboe)

This is a scene from one of my favorite movies The Mission. It is the story of missionaries who took the news of Jesus Christ to the native peoples living near the Iguazu Falls which was featured in The Piano Guys video (the music is also from this scene). In the opening scene of the movie, the first missionary to try to meet the local peoples was killed and tied to a cross and sent over the falls. His fellow missionary (the main character of the movie) decides to continue the work and climbs the falls. That is where this scene begins. I strongly recommend seeing this movie.

Lesson 16 — Renewable Energy Discussion (continued)

In this lesson, we watched a clip from the movie The Mission. This is the scene with the music that was used in The Piano Guys video from Brazil. We had a mini-presentation by Yuzuka and also saw some music from Wynton Marsalis and Kathleen Battle.

We also discussed some of the pros and cons of renewable energy.

Video: The Mission / How Great Thou Art (The Piano Guys: Wonders of the World Part 2)

The second stop on the Piano Guys tour of the Wonders of the World was the Christ the Redeemer Statue in Brazil. They also visited Iguazu Falls, also in Brazil. Iguazu Falls is considered by many people to be one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World. Iguazu Falls was the location for a movie called The Mission. It is a powerful movie. I recommend it to you.
