Mission and Program Overview
Mission
Organization's Primary Exempt Purpose: Indigenous Lenses is a 501(c)3, Utah-based non-profit corporation dedicated to ethnographic, documentary film and video productions for educational, cultural, and scientific purposes. Our productions will focus on indigenous healers from around the world, recording their stories within the context of their cultures. Emphasis will be placed on those healers and healing practices threatened with extinction through acculturation and/or assimilation. The corporation shall also engage in humanitarian work in the communities where we film to help bring education to the girls of those communities, provide food and shelter to indigent Tibetan elders in the refugee camps and support eye and medical care for the Nepali and Tibetan communities.
