AMA LUR (MOTHER LAND)
The film begins with a poem by Pio Baroja, Ama Lur, celebrating the glories of the Basques... Those ?who had begun the age of discovery?.? These were the men, who gave the world a new geography?.... ?Who bravely confronted Oceans and Winds?... ?Those men who were the first of ancient man had become the first of modern man?. ?These Basques were the first to circumnavigate the earth?.... ? Were lovers of dean hands and conscience, from villages like mine?.... ?They opened sea after sea, and were the first to conquer the sphere of the earth?..."Sounding the horns of freedom, they defended the rights of men, and liberated peoples and lands.? ?They leave their stamp where-ever they go, from Santa Maria De Buenos Aires, the new Vizcaya; Montevideo De Uruguay, Asuncion De Valencia, the Philippines,? Mexico, Cuba, San Juan De Puerto Rko, to Idaho, California and Nevada, a great history all beginning at Terra Nova > Nova Scotia, Canada- around 1412 A.D. (PERHAPS MUCH EARLIER)
