Larry's presentation includes selected scenes from his documentary film "Dream People of the Amazon."
Here is a 3-minute video summary of his presentation.

“Larry’s presentations at Sierra College were more like gifts—gifts of travel, of understanding, and of compassion. Thanks to his efforts, my students were provided a brilliant window into the real world of geography, ecology, culture, and the realities of globalization.”
