“INDIGO”

 

On Saturday, January 29, the movie, “INDIGO” debuted in private theatres all across the country in a special one time showing.  The quick sell-out of tickets proved the enormous interest and hunger of thousands of adults, to know more about these children.

 

The story portrays a young Indigo girl with extraordinary intuitive and healing powers, who knows who she is.  Her encounters with consistently incredulous adults leave her unscathed while she calmly, patiently, and lovingly informs them of what will potentially unfold.  Wherever she goes, her compassionate and wise energy brings people together in harmony and the story ends happily.

 

The movie offers us a brief view of some of the attributes of the Indigos, certainly the positive ones.  However, it fails to address many of the other attributes causing challenge and subsequent behavior problems which can lead to depression, self-destruction, and even violence.  It idealizes and idolizes these children and while it  is important to recognize their gifts, it is vital that we remember they still have the same needs as other children . 

 

Hats off to the dedication of James Twyman, Donald Walsh, and Stephen Simon for making the movie and bringing to light these amazing children.  Now we need a success story offering solutions for the majority of Indigos, and their parents and teachers who are not as balanced as the star of this film.
