World Premiere of Wealth Untold

Belize, 15 November 2024: Eclectic Aspirations proudly announces the successful world premiere of WEALTH UNTOLD, a new documentary that follows a multigenerational group of inspiring women leaders striving to protect Belize’s world-renowned barrier reef system and associated livelihoods.

WEALTH UNTOLD celebrated its world premiere screening on opening day (November 6, 2024) of the 17th Belize International Film Festival, held at the University of Belize campus in the nation’s capital, Belmopan. The screening drew an audience of about 100 people and was followed by a social impact panel on climate justice featuring film participants Beverly Wade and Valdemar Andrade, producer Philip Karp, and director/producer Eladio Arvelo.

During our world premiere visit to Belize, we were grateful for the opportunity to arrange an encore screening in Placencia, held at the conference center of Naia Resort & Spa on November 9, 2024. Around 100 people attended, included many of the film participants that live in the south of the country. The screening was followed by a Q&A session moderated by our host, Stewart Krohn, and featuring several of the women participants from the film.

Our filmmaking team chose to premiere WEALTH UNTOLD in Belize to recognize the invaluable collaboration of local stakeholders who made the film possible over four years of production. It was especially meaningful to experience the film alongside 18 of the 30 Belizean participants who were able to attend in person across both screenings.

The response in Belize was overwhelmingly positive, with several women conservation leaders featured in the film expressing enthusiastic support for the documentary. Their encouragement reaffirmed our commitment to share their inspiring stories with audiences around the world.
