First World Order

1994 · 28m

In this tapestry of images and sounds, fragments gleaned from more than three years of research on four continents illuminate an ancient community of perceptions, practices, and values. Originating in Africa, thousands of years before Egypt, remnants of the First World Order survive today as codes and symbolic language in the arts and life of many people. Weaving verité sequences of arts and cultural expression with interviews and animation, Jones evokes the textured relationships of culturally and ethnically distinct and disparate peoples.
