Hi there,
I was telling my wife about Kindertrauma, and how I had a trauma resolved here years ago, and it turns out that she has one! She remembers that there was a large group of people in tan/brown robes standing near a lagoon in the desert, surrounded by desert rock formations. Each person had a gem embedded in their hands. The vantage point of the scene was as though someone was spying on them.
Thanks, Mystery32
Could this be 1982's Beastmaster film starring Marc Singer? The description sounds like the clan of winged creatures standing around Nevada rock formations and the unique "shot through a diamond" POVs of the movie. God, do I love John Amos.
Gem-embedded hands sounds like Logan's Run (1976).
CONFIRMED! It's Logan's Run. Thanks Kindertrauma folks for getting it done.
