Film and Panel Discussion: Guardians of the Forest

Guardians of the Forest is an award-winning documentary film that tells the inspiring story of the Maijuna Indigenous group of the Peruvian Amazon as they fight for their biologically rich ancestral lands and cultural survival.

The Maijuna culture is sustained and nourished by their heavily forested ancestral territory, which is increasingly threatened by outsiders. After introducing and screening the film, this event will culminate in a question-and-answer session with Maijuna leaders and the film’s producer and director.

This documentary film will be of broad interest to attendees as it touches on rainforest conservation, Indigenous rights and lifeways, community empowerment, human rights, and environmental justice, among other critical topics.
